Closed due to Bear Sightings!

We had intended to do a 14km walk today on the Rigg Springs trail as this is our last training before we check into the Hilton Garden Inn to prepare for our 7 day back country hike. This is the highlight of the trip. 8 miles a day, self sufficient and hopefully, will see no other humans and for me, no bears. Due to bear sightings, the trail was closed.

We took an alternative track called the Swamp Canyon/Sheep's Creek trail instead. It was nowhere near the distance we wanted to cover at 6.4km. With 4 days in Bryce, I managed to take one pic at the end of the hike for this post.
We will be leaving Bryce Canyon  tomorrow, driving to Rock Springs. So, its another goodbye to a fantastic place, which I would recommend to everyone as a must-see. I think it tops Grand Canyon, not in terms of scale but the colors and formations.

On to Wyoming and bear country!🐶

    When we were in Canada they didn't ever seem to close the paths due to bear sightings, you could just look up a webpage to see if there were bear sightings and then make your own mind up. We saw 8 bears on our trip. We saw bears on our first hike but they were black bears. They weren't interested in us at all.
