Dude. I've been to Bryce. The red rock is all sandstone, which is extremely soft. At its softest, you crush it in your hand. Even at its strongest I would not trust it to hold my weight. Going down the trail I lost my balance and grabbed onto the wall. Instead of stopping my fall I just hit the ground with a chunk of sandstone.

My husband and I were able to drive around the entire country and saw this beauty. We went at a tentative time during COVID (restrictions were just starting to lift) and there were almost no tourists. It was, and will forever be, one of the best trips to Iceland I take

Whatever.... not jealous..... I guess weather was bad both times we flew there & back.

Still if anyone goes to Maui and has a day to spare the ride to and from Molokai is CHEAPER than a helicopter ride and almost as amazing. Could fly over in the morning, rent a car and drive around the island and fly back that night and still be cheaper than a helicopter ride.

We did do a copter ride in Maui, started in Hana and went around the east and south ends of the island across the middle back to the main airport. That was amazing too. The east side of Maui is amazing and so few people see it because it is nearly impossible to get too.
