Panoramic part 3.

Photos reversed again! 

Skyler thought the hula hoop sticker placed on the cross walk sign was hilarious!

It never did rain even though it looked like it would.

Bryce Canyon on the horizon.

This little hiker hiked 12.5 miles in one day!

Panoramic trail part 1.

 We started our 6 mile trek Saturday afternoon.


Skyler leading us out of our morning hike back to the campground.

Barrel cactus just starting to bloom.

Soaptree yucca blooming just like the one in our front yard.



Bluebird!

The power of water in the desert!  That's a pinion pine snapped off like a twig!  It was nearly a foot in diameter.

Old livestock fence made with a railroad tie and metal strapping.

More yucca.

Kodachrome Basin Campground.

 What a place!  It was luxury camping for sure.


Friday night.  All settled in.

The sun just kissing the ridges to the West.

We started off on our first hike of the day.

Peek-a-boo trail final and the climb up Wall street..

 And yet again, Blogger has reversed the order of the photos!  Start at the bottom of today's post and scroll up.  Sigh...

Nearing the tunnel and almost to the top.

Skyler on the switchbacks.

Southern ridge.

Tree in the distance.

Illuminated red rock fire.

It was steep.  Headed toward the stairs.

Somehow the ponderosa pines were growing in here.

Unreal!

Entering Wall Street.  We saved the best for last.

The end of the loop and walking toward Wall Street.


Everyone thought the guy falling was hilarious.

Gorgeous!

This little guy was thriving along side the trail.
