By the time I finished talking to them, I realized I never got a photo of the ‘fairies’ hiking through Fairyland Loop. But there is a video clip somewhere I’m going to add to this post someday! By the afternoon the trail had turned to very sticky mud, (2 photos above) and we had mud spattered all the way up the back of our pants. We also had to take breaks to scrape the 4-5″ buildup from the bottom of our hiking shoes. From a mix of hoodoos to more treed areas with ponderosa pine, the variety was really nice. We also enjoyed how much quieter this trail was than others we’ve done. We call it getting ‘Bryce Canyon-ed out’! There are just only so many hoodoos you can see before the awe starts wearing off. In fact, I would probably just choose 1 hike in Bryce combined with other parks in Utah. And then hike in Bryce Canyon again another time if possible.
