If you put a 200 mile radius with the center at Bryce you'd draw the Golden Circle. If I had 10 lifetimes I could never tire of painting or photographing this area.

I've come to the conclusion that you cannot capture the depth and breadth of the GC in a photo of any quality- you have be there in person. Lucky you.
My frustration was that I would take pictures and an hour later the same scene with a different sun angle was completely different look. I was ready to plant the 'pod at the best overlook and take the same shot every hour from sunrise to sunset. That didn't happen.
I didn't get good shots at Bryce; it was raining and overcast so I didn't capture those unbelievable colors.
But enjoy, you and your camera will have a great time.

Its really difficult for sure, I spend most of my time in the GC (and everywhere) looking at the small things, the details. It took me years and hundreds of dollars of film to look for the photo nuggets in the details, I look back up at the larger landscapes during the "golden hours" of AM & PM.
