Greetings from Bryce Canyon National Park

My oldest grandson and I visited Bryce and Zion this summer …it was an amazing trip filled with new vistas around each curve …he too became enraptured by the space, colors and form …walking trails, seeking new forms and best watercolor Iight along these cathedrals .

Sincerely,
Irene

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.

State(s): Utah

Established: 1942
