Bryce Canyon ~TR-4

After Leaving Las Vegas, i traveled through Zion National park, which was quite spectacular and i will definitely stop on my way back, but i really wanted to make it to Bryce Canyon. At 8000ft in elevation, It would give me a great chance to get a higher elevation run in. Unfortunately it was cloudy that night so that eliminated my shooting that night. But i did get up early before sunrise (yes i was up at 4:45am for those that know me!) and was able to capture this footage. View at 720p for best video.



After shooting, and some breakfast, i geared up for a run through the canyon. If you have never been to Bryce Canyon, you have to put it on your list. The views are spectacular every where you look, and as you get down amongst the hoodoos, there is a surprise around every corner. I tried to run but kept having to stop to shoot so photos and video with my baby camera. ( My regular camera is a Nikon D3, and with my lenses, my backpack weights about 30lbs. But my Baby camera is a point and shoot waterproof crush proof camera that i take with me on my runs.) A few corners i literally was stopped in my tracks with the views. A few other corners i was stopped by horseback tours. The peakaboo trail is a 10km loop at the bottom of the canyon, and is accesible by horse back, so twice i was forced to the edge of the trail to let them pass, but otherwise this made for some amazing albiet hilly trail running.
