Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon is not a single canyon, but a series of natural amphitheaters carved into the edge of a high plateau. Its four main viewpoints are Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, and Sunrise Point. Hiking trails explore the forests of the plateau, connect between viewpoints along the rim of the Bryce Amphitheater, and wander through the hoodoos below. There are activities for everyone! Bryce Canyon is a small national park in southwestern Utah. Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a national park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its worldly unique geology, consisting of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters.

Bryce offers
the visitor a "Far View" from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name, these whimsically arranged rocks create a wondrous landscape of mazes, offering some of the most exciting and memorable walks and hikes imaginable. Hiking, camping, horseback riding, auto-touring, bird- watching, ranger programs, guided hikes, etc. can all be enjoyed at Bryce Canyon National Park.
