Bryce Canyon Utah

Bryce Canyon, famous for its worldly unique geology, consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The erosional force of frost-wedging and the dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called "hoodoos".Bryce Canyon became a national park in 1928.

Small by National Park standards, the 56.2 square miles of Bryce Canyon National Park occupy the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in south-central Utah. The park is not a canyon. Rather, it is a spectacular series of more than a dozen amphitheaters, each of which is carved at least 1,000 feet into the chromatic limestone of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.

Spend a week or spend a few hours. Bryce Canyon National Park offers something special for all ages of every interest.  Hopefully you will plan to stay overnight - will it be camping or lodging? Enjoy a ranger program or two: moonlit guided hike, telescope stargazing, or an entertaining geology lesson. Perhaps you would prefer a horseback ride?
