This web site is devoted to helping each other find our way. The trails on this website are logged with GPS Receivers and therefore represent local knowledge. All of the data and information on this site is free.
Each hike or local area has a contents web page from which you may download a printable topographic map in Adobe PDF format. Hint - these maps will function even when the batteries in your GPS Receiver quit.
The hikes also are also available in the form of gpx (GPS Exchange) files which can be downloaded to a GPS receiver using GPS mapping software. The GPS receiver will then both point your way and track your progress.
Hasta la Vista, baby. Windows Vista, that is. The Dell 360 never liked Windows Vista very much. I couldn't get drivers for the graphics card, and the CD player stopped working. We gave the computer away after I reinstalled Windows XP. Now we're Mac users all the way. The old boat anchor has been replaced with a new Mac Mini running Leopard. Instead of posting new trails here I've been wasting my time reading New York Bike Snob and Drunk Cyclist
This past week we took our little A-frame camping trailer to Red Canyon campground which is just outside of Bryce Canyon National Park. We hiked in Bryce Canyon and Losee Canyon, Mountain Bike Casto, Lossee, Cassidy, and Thunder trails, and hung around camp collecting rocks from the wash. Every day was a bluebird day -- the weather was perfect and the stars numerous and close in the night sky. Rachel was able to see the milky way -- something every kid should get to see on just any night, and not just on vacation.
Being camped in Red Canyon, we found very little reason to go to Bryce Canyon more than once. The various side canyons of Red Canyon offer ample opportunity for hiking. If you don't want the physical challenge of hiking or mountain biking, there are guided ATV rides in Casto Canyon, and horseback rides in Losee canyon. (We saw a group of 44 riders!). The best part of Bryce Canyon is free -- the Mossy Cave / Tripod Ditch waterfall is a wonderful way to take a shower!
