A great loop. we did it clockwise. Bryce Path is a pleasant woods walk beneath the cliffs. Open hardwood area, so now you can peak at the views. You climb into a lovely evergreen area and end up on top of the ledges. Gorgeous views in all directions. The descent from here is steep in a few sections and there are a few viewpoints here and there. We got back down in less than half the time it took up. I would recommend this direction, you get to enjoy the views more while descending.
A note about traction. At THIS TIME, no shoes are needed. The snow is extremely packed down and not deep. There are many areas going up that have no snow at all. But do bring some type of traction, there were icy spots on our descent. Please watch the weather; if we do get snow in the future, do the right thing! |
