    I love the ramblings at the end, probably my favorite part! If the bus system is running you can go from Sunrise or the Beginning of Fairyland and hike all the way to Bryce Point and take the bus back. In between the edge of Navajo Loop and Bryce Point, there is a significant drop off in people which is nice. You can also leave a bike at the top of Bryce point and ride back down, which is what I ended up doing, makes for an interesting view of the park both on foot and two wheels!

    I was in Bryce in late November 2020. Arrived in Bryce in the late afternoon and there was no snow anywhere. Spent 2 nights at the Lodge and it snowed during the first night (probably one of the first snow fall of the winter) and I had an amazing early morning sunrise hike in the snow, it was glorious. Was surprised by how much colder than Zion it was though (where I spent the 3 days prior). Inspiring video as always Kraig!

Here in Chile I do my hikes in national parks and ascents to the summits of volcanoes. for example to volcano sollipulli, villarrica and lanin among others. I also want to congratulate you because I think you feel the same way I do about nature, the spirit of freedom and various emotions.

So beautiful but couldn't really go on any hikes as we didn't have spikes. It was stunning though. The snow was so high that it made it more dangerous because it was above the fence and railings at certain parts. I really want to go back

    I was just at Bryce last week on April 1st (just missed you). We hiked Sunrise Point down to Queens garden to Navajo Loop to Peekaboo Loop and back up to Sunset Point via two bridges. We looked at Fairyland and chose Peekaboo loop instead (so glad we did) - Peekaboo loop is utterly stunning and hardly anyone on the trail. Peekaboo's terrain looks more interesting than Fairlyland's views, but I will have to hike that one for sure. Bryce really surprised me, my expectations were not that high, but my family preferred Bryce to Zion, Grand Canyon, Horshoebend and Antelope slot canyons. Best hike I've ever been on in Bryce- Highly recommend. *NOTE- the main short loop is very crowded, but once we got on the Peekaboo loop which was around a 4 mile loop from the Navajo trail trail head, we literally only saw around 10 other people the whole way around- far less populated and gave you time to enjoy the scenery in isolation.

    We hiked the Fairyland Trail starting at the rim. This route was better in that the incline wasn’t as bad at the end. The trail was beautiful and very quiet. We went at the end of June on a cloudy day. It was thundering and we got a little rain. To me, it was better than the hot sun which can be brutal that time of year.

I was rushing to the car before sunset, did almost 16 miles altogether. Definitely didn't take away from how beautiful this trail is and a better view of the park with barely anyone around.

    Kraig--beautiful video as usual! You did seem to get away from people and more by yourself on the Fairyland Loop, though maybe not so much on the others. I read several years ago that of the people who go to visit national parks, 95% only go to the immediate area of the visitor's center. Of the remaining 5%, 3% will do a short hike some distance from the entrances, and 2% will actually do a longer hike into the backcountry. Maybe this is different now with Covid, prices, transportation, increased park attendance, etc.

Instead it became part of the storytelling. I do wish, though, that you will keep exploring less populated routes as it does provide that special Kraig Adams vibe to it - the isolation, minimalism, and great background music.

    Bryce is definitely also one of my favorite parks I've been to in the States. I did the same hikes as you did and really enjoyed the views. And it's always 'funny' to see how many people gather around the viewpoints but only few walk the path! And yeah, with some small rivers would have been nice but my god, when it starts raining, you sure on't want to be there. The path turns into a muddy and very sticky pathway which is really difficult to walk on! I've one question about your AllTrails overview of hikes you would like to do. How did you make this list and how do you let it appear on the map? Maybe worth while making a video just on how you use the app to plan your future trips. Thanks in advance and oh yeah, congrats for your wedding!!!
