  "Navajo/Queens Garden---from a senior's perspective"
  "I think this might help a lot of older folks.....my wife and I did this hike yesterday, after a few months of planning .....I am 65, and in reasonably good shape; I am not overweight, and have no orthopedic problems to speak of; I live on the Texas Gulf Coast....i.e. --- we are at sea level, and the..." terrain is flat as a pancake; I can walk the three miles around Rice University (approx. the length of this hike) in around 40 minutes or so comfortably w/o stopping---that should put you into perspective; First and foremost, let me tell you that Bryce Canyon N.P. is my absolute favorite park to visit; Six years ago we visited here, and mainly did the rim trail, and drove around the entire park...decided that we might revisit one day; after hiking up to Delicate Arch (Arches N.P.) a year or so later, I decided that I'd like to see Bryce from the bottom up, since it was so spectacular from the top down; I would recommend this hike to any senior that loves nature, and is in a state of hea...

I recommend you bring LOTS of water; you're at over 7,000 ft elevation and you descend nearly 400 ft (40 story bu..."ilding). We were not smart for not bringing snacks with us. Then on the ascent, between the elevation/oxygen scarcity and low blood sugar, I could only take 4-5 steps then have to pause. I was getting very dizzy. Now the scenery...OH MY GOSH! What a way to see Bryce - from down within!! The path is rather wide in 98% of the trail and I didn't feel freaked out at all. At the end of the trail, in the Queen's Garden, our breathtaking environment was shattered by some VERY loud Czech tourists. Really? Do ya have to shout? That made us want to leave and find peace. You can't control who ends up at the end of the trail with you but you will enjoy the hike. Allow double time to ascend (the... " More >
