After Zion we went to Bryce Canyon National Park, where I was amazed by the diversity and colors of the landscapes. My first adventure in the park was down the Sunset Point trail and through Wall Street. That is one of the coolest trails I've ever been on.


I set up my easel just outside of Wall Street and prepared my palette with azo yellow deep, sienna with yellow ocre, and alizarin crimson, so I could properly catch the red aura in the landscape.

I eventually settled on a point a little farther down the mountain at Aqua Canyon. It had a nice view of red cliffs speckled in snow. This spot was difficult with the cold wind whipping past me down the canyon.
To wrap up the day I decided to go on an afternoon hike with my wife. We took the Sunrise Point trail through Queen's Garden. It was a strenuous trail and a storm kept threatening, but the views were unbelievable. It was a great trail to end the day with.
Our day was complete with the sunset at our campground, which was located in Cannonville, sandwiched between Bryce Canyon and Escalante Grand Staircase. This is the view facing Northeast towards Escalante.

We next decided to head up to the higher elevations in the park to see the view from above.
