Finding Fairyland an Epic Immesive VR Experience

Fairyland
Bryce Canyon Utah in 360 Degrees

After completing "Love Poem to Glacier National Park" I craved doing another one. That is how Zion's Giant came to be. That did so well, that I dug into my creative juices and Cascadia's Magical Journey was born. It is a fun process imagining something and then having it come to life. Fairyland is one of the few videos I have created where I knew the location well enough that I had a vision before going what I wanted to create. I wanted to feel the adventure of traveling to a magical creature event, and I wanted it to share how magial these locations feel to me. Yes, I added locations that are not in Fairyland or Bryce Canyon, but hopefully you can grab a VR Headset and be inside the Spherical Video so you can transport yourself on this magical journey.

I was craving a Southern Utah adventure, but not wanting to deal with the heat. Then it hit me that even though Bryce canyon is Southern Utah, it is so high in elevation that it is cooler than where I live. I think I had the perfect 1.5 day family adventure here. I started with an audio book on Fairies on the way down adding to my excitement for the trail. Close after Panquitch I turned on Losee road and went down about 5 miles to Arches Trail. I was here in the evening and it was fun to do that short hike and be able to be so close to the Arches and HooDoos.

Perfect launching point. I was surprised that I probably could have camped at this trailhead.

I started Fairyland loop at 6am for I knew that even though it was cooler than it was at my home, I was still going to struggle with the heat. The whole hike was amazing. If I had little ones I wouldn't push them to do the whole loop, but listening to an audio book and imagining places and characters in Fairyland was a lot of fun. When I got done I was ready for change so I drove 40 min to Willis Creek Slot Canyon.

Such a perfect family hike as it has a stream in the base of the slot you follow. Gives for great entertainment of jumping to avoid the water or splashing. I was surprised that even though it was 90 degrees outside it was cool in the slot and I didn't feel the heat. Lastly I stopped by Meadow. A quick dip in a hot water spring pool is the perfect ending to a awesome Green time family getaway. Happy hiking!

I love how these looks like they have heads and fine dresses and are all standing at attention at someone grand in front of them. So Cool. It looks like it could come alive at night!

Beautiful morning Primrose still in bloom with Fairyland Hoodoos behind. Usually I see these in White or Pink, a Yellow one is magical to me. :)

Huge Thanks to Hoka One One for making incredible Hiking Boots. They grip great when I need them to grip, they support my ankle and keep it from getting twisted, they do a pretty good job keeping my feet dry, and my favorite thing about my Hoka One One Boots is that they are like walking on clouds. The cushion layer on the bottom not only helps my feet last longer, but they keep my feet from feeling the sharp rocks under my feet. Love them!
