Today we hiked the 8 mile Fairyland Canyon loop. I'd never walked this
far before but I'm happy to say I did just fine -- with the exception
of not particularly wanting to walk much afterwards! This is really a
beautiful hike through the hoodoos, and it's not nearly as much of a
heavy-use trail as some of the more "famous" trails are. As the brochure
says, Fairyland boasts formations which rival anything else in the park.
We didn't start from the Fairyland Scenic point -- instead we found
an access path from our campsite onto the West Rim Trail, which is
part of the loop. We started there and headed towards Fairyland
Scenic point.
