Most of my best memories in my whole life are from hiking in several national parks with my partner. My favorite park is Bryce. So many park rangers in each park were helpful and kind, and willing to share their knowledge. They all impressed me! Park rangers are the heart of each park. I appreciate you all so much. Thank you for everything you do!
Sincerely,
Bryce Canyon National Park
This popular park is most famous for its colorful hoodoos, and there are more of these artfully eroded spires here than anywhere else on Earth. The area is not actually a canyon, however, but a series of amphitheaters which feature remarkable rock formations and extensive forests dominated with conifers, including ancient bristlecone pines. Together with Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks, Bryce Canyon is part of a geologic wonder known as the Grand Staircase, an immense area of rock with layered sedimentary formations ranging from 600 million to 2,000 million years old.
