"Hiked up from near the end of FR 586, Dutch Creek Road, took the southern ridge up and then around to the summit, back down on the northern ridge, not many paths, snow was unavoidable, slow going and deep in sections I broke through. Southern ridge was a much shorter route despite looking different once boots on ground. Great time overall." — timsclimbs • Apr 8, 2021

"Ever have a 10 minute conversation with a raven? I did. This raven really liked me talking to it, and kept getting closer and closer and closer. It was such a neat experience! " — psychikingjes • Jan 30, 2021

"My first time hiking into Bryce Canyon in the snow! Covering the route. Some people snowshoed, we just used traction devices (I wore yaktrax, Ken wore my microspikes) and had no issues whatsoever. Poles were helpful, though! Such a beautiful day. Because it's winter, the Wall Street portion of the Navajo Loop trail is closed, so once you get to the bottom, you either turn around and go back up the same way, or you join with the Queen's Garden loop trail to come back up (our choice). I'm glad we went down the steeper bit and came up the easier bit. Took it nice and easy because of elevation and my recovery from Covid-19, which has definitely lessened my lung capacity/overall cardio health. A gorgeous day, sunshine, clear and pristine skies (excellent air quality and sight distance), such a wonderful experience. My only regret is that I didn't grab a spare battery for my camera, so it died from the cold about halfway through the hike. Oh well - lesson learned!" — psychikingjes • Jan 30, 2021

"As the sun set, we stopped at different viewpoints on the way back out of the park. We didn't continue on to Piracy Point from Farview Point (I'm not sure I have yet - I'll have to fix that next time I go to Bryce Canyon), and partially that was because I was cold and my feet were wet and I was tired. I know, I know, excuses excuses. " — psychikingjes • Jan 30, 2021
