Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park, National Park in Utah
Bryce Canyon National Park, famous for its spectacular crimson-colored hoodoos, spans over a massive 56 square mile area.
Designated as a national park in 1928, Bryce Canyon has been preserving its remarkable features for almost a century.
The park is named after Ebenezer Bryce, Mormon pioneer, who first reported the site, calling it a 'helluva place to lose a cow'.
Ideal for hiking, camping and scenic drives, mainly from spring to fall; winter offers snowscapes and skiing opportunities.
It's not your typical canyon, but rather a collection of biologically diverse plateaus and pinnacles.
