Introduction

Bryce Canyon National Park is located on the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Utah, famous for its densely packed orange-red rock spires called hoodoos, one of the most distinctive national parks in the United States. The hoodoos were sculpted by millions of years of wind erosion and freeze-thaw cycles, displaying layered red, orange, yellow and white colors at sunrise and sunset like a natural amphitheater. Main viewpoints include Bryce Canyon, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point and Rainbow Point, with elevations from 8,000 to 9,100 feet and views reaching Lake Powell and the Kaibab Plateau. Trails such as Navajo Loop, Queen's Garden and Fairyland Loop wind through the hoodoo forest for an up-close geological experience. Bryce Canyon is also one of the darkest night skies in North America, a premier destination for stargazing and photography.
