Description
One of the many trails in Bryce.
Bryce Canyon National Park ( /ˈbraɪs/) is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon which, despite its name, is not a canyon but a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).

F/L In the thumbnail I thought there was water in this image. Now I see it is just part of the path leading to the hoodoos. I love the combination of the green trees with the orange red of the hoodoos. Nice framing by the green trees in this marvelous composition. The deep blue in the aky is awesome and helps to make the image pop!
