Morning on the Fairyland loop

It really should say "mass wasting"

Peek a boo trail

No, the trees do not twist because of the Vortex

So we have completed our annual escape from the heat to the North Rim and Bryce.  We did a hike in Red Canyon during the hottest part of the day, because apparently some of us never learn.  It was 6 miles with 700 foot elevation change, except we had to climb the same 700 feet three times.

In Bryce we got up before dawn to hike Fairyland and Peek a Boo.  By noon it was in the 90's, even at 8000 feet.

I love the twisty trees, but I do not appreciate when people do the "vortex" tour of Sedona, and then ask me if the trees at the Canyon also twist because of vortexes.  Vorti?  Yeah, because every tree everywhere in the world is affected by the Sedona vortex.
