About

Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for crimson-colored “hoodoos,” which are spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point, and Bryce Point.
