Bryce with a Light Blanket

[AlanLichty]

An early spring view of Bryce Canyon after a fresh coating of snow. Hiking the trails in the canyon in these conditions is not recommended since the trails will be deep sticky mud. The mud in Bryce clings to your boots like cement with glue in it and makes it almost impossible to walk.

C&C always welcome.

Beautiful view here with the snow.

Bryce with snow is always a visual treat - the contrast of white snow and the red/brown is beautiful. Like the view point.

I hate that gooey mud. Wait until there is more snow so you can walk on at least ten inches of it.

Very cool Alan. That dusting of snow really looks cool. That tree in the middle is a little distracting, but otherwise this is really great.

it looks so different in the snow. beautiful.

Love this view, Alan. Sounds like you speak from first hand experience about the mud

Thanks Ben.

Thanks - Every time I have made it down to Bryce with a bit of fresh spring snow I head straight for the overlooks.

Fully agree - walking on frozen ground is easy. Bryce mud is horrible.

Very cool Alan. That dusting of snow really looks cool. That tree in the middle is a little distracting, but otherwise this is really great.

Thanks - I did shoot this same scene both with and without the tree but decided I still liked the view.

Thanks.

Bryce mud is quite unforgettable. Once you try to walk in it you will never forget it. I walk on muddy trails all the time and just did about 4 miles on a muddy coastal rainforest trail this morning. My boots were wet when I got back. The mud at Bryce will cling to your boots in a thick gooey layer that weighs your foot down by a couple of pounds. That's from the first step - as soon as you go any farther each step will weigh even more until you retreat and try to unslime your boots.

Beautiful scene Alan, of one of my favorite places on this planet. Nice work.
