Overview

Bryce Canyon National Park is known for its unusual geology. The erosional force of frost-wedging and the dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the colorful limestone rock into fantastic shapes including windows, spires, slot canyons, fins, and spires called "hoodoos." It is a magnificent series of more than a dozen amphitheaters, each of which is carved at least 1,000 feet into the chromatic limestone of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. These spectacular and colorful rock formations create a fascinating landscape of mazes and offer some of the most inspiring and memorable trails imaginable.
