Before getting to this weeks desktop, there's a couple of things I wanted to remind you about. First, updates are off and I am not going to try to shift them back on time but rather just let them play out as they are (the one slated for the 13th will be up on the 20th, the one for the 20th appears on the 27th). Second, the previous weeks wallpaper is always still available by clicking the preview to the left found on this page. Enjoy! Above is this weeks free desktop. This week we travel to southern Utah, back to a park which has been featured here several times, Bryce Canyon National Park. For those unfamiliar with Bryce Canyon NP, the main feature of this amazing park is erosion shaped pillars of colorful limestones, sandstones, and mudstones called hoodoos. These marvels are scattered throughout the park, most of the time in huge groups. There is a centrally located road running through the park and it offers many varying views from many easily accessible overlooks. For further enjoyment, the Bryce Amphitheather section has several side roads with overlooks on some of the most magnificent formations found here. The picture featured this week was taken June 2007 while walking the Rim Trail between Sunrise Point and Fairyland Point. Here we are looking back toward Sunrise Point and Sunset Point highlighting the satuation of hoodoos in the area. With the staggering, expansive views of the surrounding mountains and plateaus (it's possible on clear days to see over 100 miles from some points in the park) from some of the overlooks and close to 50 miles of excellent hiking trails which take you into the heart of the park, thus enabling a close up experience well worth the effort required tackling the terrain, this park offers both excellent hiking and siteseeing opportunities. A word of caution before you head out exploring, the elevation here is 7000 to 9000ft with most trails ending with you coming back up out of a canyon, not the easiest thing if you're one not use to the elevation (I speak from own personal experience here (; ). Bryce Canyon is a park which can offer extented opportunities for many days of exploring, or if you wish, you can still have rewarding experience in just a single, wonderful day.
