Story

We took the Scouts camping and hiking at Bryce Canyon. They had a blast! We drove down to Sunset Point. We went to the overlook. Then we hiked along the Rim Trail to Sunrise Point. From there, we took the Queen's Garden trail down into the amphitheater. We took the Navajo Loop trail back out through Wall Street. It was a fun loop hike with awesome scenery.
