Along the Edge: Bryce Canyon National Park, September 2001 Just barely visible in the distance is Navajo Mountain which is about 90 miles away. Bryce Canyon lies along the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, which forms the western, higher part of the park. The plateau falls away into the Paria Valley, which lies between the Paunsaugunt and Aquarius Plateaus. At one time these two plateaus were joined together, but time and geologic forces have eroded the land away, creating the beautiful rock formations found at Bryce. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)

Rainbow Point: Bryce Canyon National Park, September 2001 For our next stop at Bryce, we walked along a short path to Rainbow Point, which looks out north-eastward over the park. From Rainbow Point visitors can see out to the northern end of the park. This viewpoint also has great views of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)

Concerned?: Emily has these concerned faces. This one isn’t as bad as it can be. She can really furrow her brow and look like she is having deep thoughts. What kinds of deep thoughts a baby can have, I don’t know. Maybe she’s working out how to “train” her mother and I. But whatever these thoughts might be, Emily sure has them.
