Description
Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, beauty that is out of this world. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. The elevation on the rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
