Wednesday 15.7. (Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks)

We arrived to Cedar Breaks around the noon, accomodated at the campsite and quickly went to the Bryce Canyon. Parking the car on the edge of the park, we took the shuttle bus to see the most interesting sites, riding few miles around the canyon. Canyon itself is made of plenty of the red-and-grey rocks balancing on the thin pillars. A bit further from the place, the forest fire was visible. In the evening, we returned to the camp in Cedar Breaks and walked through the monument view. Here, we were camping in the highest placed camp (3200 m above the sea level), so that through the day it was not hot at all. In the evening, we baked the American sausages on the open-fire and went to see the ranger program and the star party -- night sky watching in Cedar Breaks with a strong telescope with the commentaries. There is almost no light polution, so that the sky is really beautiful.
