The wayside panels that I have been assigned to complete are as follows,
1. Bryce Canyons International Appeal
2. Weathering and Erosion
3. Lightning
4. Ponderosa Pines and rim receding backwards
5. Famous hoodoos

Walking the route

Everyone who is working on the panels got together and walked the rim where we want to do the self guided rim-walk. The goal is to have it be bidirectional so it doesnt matter which end you start on. We were able to come up with about 10 different stops. Some of them single panels and some double panels. We figured out what we wanted to talk about where and now need to divide up the responsibilities of who does which ones.

Brainstorming for the Waysides Signs

We had a meeting about how we want to redo the signs and which ones need to be done first. They have an idea of creating a self guided rim-walk. Meaning on our Ranger guided Rim-Walks we all talk about different things relating to Bryce. We will stop in front of things we want to discuss and then move on to the next thing. So we want to have panels up at various locations along that same route. So that way when we are not around to give people information they can still learn all about the area. That is the top priority and once that is finished then we will all begin to focus on the other panels around the park.


This is an example of an old sign to be replaced
