Bryce Canyon UT

[Pilawt]

Some flying buddies from the Northwest flew down to Bryce Canyon, Utah, for a couple of days of hiking and sightseeing last week, so I flew the 172 up from Phoenix to join them. My route took me over the Grand Canyon northbound, and a little out of the way to the east via Tuba City and Meteor Crater on the return trip. Great weather, other than a strong crosswind right across the runway at KBCE.

Besides my 172, the group included two RVs, a Mooney M20E and a beautiful '46 Bellanca 14-13-2.

Great pictures! I flew over Bryce last year and really enjoyed the trip.

Great pics. Illustrates why we go to all the expense and effort to fly.

Exceptionally good photos.

Great area to explore. I used Page AZ as a staging airport to head out to Monument Valley, Rainbow Bridge, Brice, Canyonlands, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Meteor Crator, Sunset Volcano, Marble Canyon, and the colorful desert. Page itself has a variety of things to do, too.

Love the pics, but you're making me a bit jealous.

We'll be having our 10th Annual Fly-in there this coming Oct 11-15. It's billed as an CT/LSA fly-in, but everyone is welcome! We stage in Page and fly Lake Powell, Marble Canyon, Monument valley, Bullfrog, Escalante, Bryce, Grand Canyon and more. A very casual affair where you can go with a small group, or just do your own thing. Weather is generally perfect that time of year, and we have a great hotel rate. MORE INFO HERE

Thank you for sharing the fun.

Thank you for sharing! We wanted to fly over Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park last December but weather decided to be crappie. Made it safely from Page, AZ to Las Vegas, NV that day.

We just finished a motorized raft trip in the canyon. You probably flew over. Beauty around every corner.

Hoodoo you think you are, flying there?

I see what you did there!

In the words of pioneer settler Ebenezer Bryce, "It's a helluva place to lose a cow."

Bruce is a great place to fly. Ruby's will pick you up. And there is a shuttle into the park.

Yes and yes. That's exactly what we did. Bryce is one of the most convenient national parks for the fly-in crowd.
