I’m just being silly but our hike today did take us to the Tower Bridge which reminded me of the London Tower Bridge.
We chose this hike for the distance more than anything. It is part of the Fairyland Loop trail which is 8 miles long but we didn’t think we could handle that so this 3.4 mile down and back was just perfect. And it was down to the bottom and then back up to the top (about an 800 foot elevation change). But at the bottom we found the Tower Bridge rock formation and a quiet area among some trees with a gurgling creek and a Stellar Jay happily serenading us.
It was fun walking around many hoodoos, looking up at them towering over us or finding whimsical shapes like simple mushrooms or a DQ ice cream cone and more elaborate ones that reminded me of castles in the air or fairy land abodes.
Later in the day we drove east from the park to check out some local communities and we drove through more hoodoos and red cliffs. It is so pretty here! Our evenings are spent around a roaring campfire listening to children playing and the birds giving us one last song before they go to bed.
