Navajo Loop Trail, Bryce Canyon

As we walked toward the entrance to the Navajo Loop Trail, we could see the trail snaking downward through the hoodoos.

As we look down, the trail we will take loops around to the right. They are working on the left trail with interesting miniature machines. We found out later that the closed trail was the return of the Navajo Loop Trail.

OK, so even though we will not wind up covering this particular part of the trail, it is intriguing to see it snaking off through the formations, down into the canyon.

The beginning of the Navajo Loop descends into the canyon in a set of probably 20 tight switchbacks. Jeff was keen on getting a stairstep shot like that which we did on the 1982 trip.
