I stayed in a cabin at Bryce Canyon in early September 2003.  It was just a five-hundred foot walk from the cabin to the rim at a location between Sunrise Point and Sunset Point.  During the first night, a howling wind blew through the forest for a while before a deluge of rain pounded the park, accompanied by frequent lightning strikes.  I counted two seconds between the flash of one lightning bolt and the clap of thunder that followed it.

Day 2

I hiked down the Fairyland Canyon Trail and returned up the Sunrise Point Trail in Bryce Canyon.  It's a six mile hike with an 800 foot ascent in the last 1.7 miles. 

Near the middle of the hike I shot a couple of 360-degree panoramic sequences from inside the canyon. 

I could hear thunder from lightning striking a few miles to the north during the last part of the ascent.

I drove home through Zion National Park, stopping once to take pictures.
