Thousands of delicately-carved spires rise in brilliant color from the amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon National Park. Millions of years of wind and water at work have etched out the pink cliffs of Bryce Canyon.
Our first experience with the canyon was very dramatic, as rows of pine trees veil the color and grandeur of the canyon until you approach the rim. Here the brilliant hues of the park come alive--especially with the rising and setting of the sun. We took the 37-mile round-trip drive to Bryce's most famous viewpoints, including Sunrise, Sunset, Rainbow, Yovimpa, and Inspiration Points.
There are many walking and hiking trails along the rim or to the bottom of the canyon. A walk along one of the many trails into the "furnace" of red and yellow spires shooting up into the sky gives the feeling of being on another planet. We took the Queen's Garden Trail through the tight-walled maze of Wall Street Trail. Here, every turn in this maze-like world provides new and unique visual dramas.
