The Guardians of Red Canyon. These hoodoos can be seen from Hwy 12 as you approach the Red Canyon Visitors Center from the west.
After stopping at the visitors center for trail maps Bear and I head up toward the hoodoos.
Approaching the hoodoos we slip in behind the Guardians.
This would be were the Guardians hang out when they are not on duty.
Bear finds an arch.
This would be a Bears eye view through the arch.
Bear really likes the views from the arches.
Check this one out.
Continuing up the Canyon past the Guardians.
We come to the end of this trail. Wow! What a view from up here. Hwy 12 is below us, we are looking south and slightly west along the west rim of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
Eileen, Bella, and Bear rest at the end of the trail.
The pink, orange and red color in the rocks is from iron oxide in the lime stone. In other words the place is rusting away. But after 35 to 50 million years left out in the weather what would you expect.
After leaving the visitors center and heading east on Hwy 12 we pass through 2 tunnels. The tunnels were opened in the summer of 1925, making it possible to see Bryce Canyon National Park by motor car. The second tunnel is visible just around the bend.
