Bryce Canyon, Canyon in Garfield County, United States.
The natural amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon contain thousands of red, orange, and white rock formations called hoodoos along the Paunsaugunt Plateau edge.
The area became a national monument in 1923 before its designation as a national park in 1928, following concerns about overgrazing and uncontrolled visits.
Native American Paiute tribes developed narratives explaining the formation of hoodoos through their traditional stories and connections to the landscape.
The park maintains 50 miles of hiking trails, two campgrounds, and offers ranger-led programs including night sky observations throughout different seasons.
Bryce Canyon contains the highest concentration of hoodoo rock formations on Earth, with elevations reaching 9,105 feet at Rainbow Point.
