A last trip to Bryce Cannon - 7/6

Today we had planned to go hiking in Bryce Canyon again. We had selected the "Beneath the Rim" trail as our last hike here, but today it started drizzling. Not good hiking weather, plus I have been distracted by the difficulty of getting County of Riverside to realize I am not a resident there and should not be called for jury duty. So instead we went on a little one mile hike on the property of Rudy's Inn. Rudy's Inn started as a small tourist stop and has expanded to become most of Bryce Cannon City. Their land includes a little strip that goes right to the rim of the cannon, so we walked there. The path took us through a gate and onto a small dirt trail. About halfway there we came across a small herd of cows and calves, taking shelter from the drizzle in the trees. I am a big fan of Shreve Stockton's blog "Honey Rock Dawn", in which she often writes about how cuddly and friendly her cows are. But these were big and wet and not sure who we were or what we were doing. They watched us go by, but fortunately that was all.
At the rim there is a little waterfall, but it's straight down and hard to see. The only way I could get a picture was by pointing the camera over the bridge.
The drizzle changed to a light rain, so we headed back to the car and came home. Some days are just better at home, and we need to get ready to move the RV tomorrow anyway.
