Bryce Canyon National Park at sunset

We visited Bryce Canyon National Park again around sunset, on two consecutive nights.

On the first night, we had a fancy dinner at Stone Hearth Grille in Tropic, Utah, in the “canyon” of Bryce (it’s not really a canyon):

As you may have noticed, those pictures didn’t have much alpenglow, as the sun was already too low to reach the canyon. So we decided to go again the next night, a bit earlier.

This time, we had dinner at Bryce Canyon Pines, a more casual traditional American restaurant (with very tasty food):

And into Bryce Canyon once again:

An interesting idea: donation boxes by state and country:

We drove to the far end of the park, and used an audio tour feature in the NPS app (though it didn’t work reliably, so we missed some of the snippets):
