Bryce Canyon Link-Up

[Craig Lloyd]

I recently ran what I have called the Bryce Canyon Link-Up. With a friend, we connected all three back country trails in Bryce Canyon and did them as a run.
We started at Rainbow Point and ran the Riggs Trail, then Under-the-Rim trail, and ended on the high side of the Fairytale Loop trail. I intended to do the lower, longer half, but my friend had a hurt knee and I was just anxious to get it over with.
I tried to do some research but couldn't find anyone else who has ever done this.

It turned out to be 37 miles in a time of 8:31:17.

It is a really soft time and could be easily beat. One of the coolest runs I've ever done though.

It would be helpful if you would provide your name!

Sorry, didn't even realize I did that.

The Bryce Canyon Link-up looks like a great run. I'm going to see what time I can clock on the long version this weekend. Goal is sub 7.

Jay, I'm excited to hear how you do. It is a great trail. You'll love every step.

I ran the Bryce Canyon Kink-up on October 24th starting Rainbow Point and ending at Fairyland Point via the lower Fairyland Loop trail. 39.2 miles in a time of 7:40

Genius Jay. I came across your report accidentally a few days ago and was really impressed. That's cool you did the lower section of Fairyland. That is the really cool place and it is sad I missed it. Next year I'll go back and do it properly, for sure.
