Today was one of the shortest drive days at 3.5 hours. We were in Bryce Canyon around noon, and after lunch, spent the afternoon checking out the park. The park hasn't really changed much since I was there few years ago, and there wasn't really enough snow to make the scenery any different. Still, it was a nice break from the driving. As for walking Millie, we couldn't really do any of the hikes since they don't allow dogs on most of the trails, which are snow or ice covered anyways. On the way into the park though, about 14 miles out, there is the Thunder Mountain trail. The trailhead is at the first scenic view point as you head towards the park. We only walked around for an hour, but since there wasn't anyone around, we were able to let Millie run around off-leash. Actually, I think the area outside of the park was a lot nicer than the park itself. If you're going to go into the park, you really want to spend time doing some of the hikes down into the canyon.
One of the things I noticed today, a bright sunny day, is that my eyes are now more sensitive to light than it used to be after living in a dark place for two years. I find myself wearing sunglasses a lot more than I used to.
