Bryce Canyon is a National Park located in southwestern Utah, USA. Bryce Canyon is famous for its unique geological rock formations. Due to the combined forces of freezing and thawing, the limestone and sandstone formations are slowly eroded to form the so-called hoodoos. The worn tops create beautiful formations that appear very mysterious in the sunlight. The sun creates shades of the colors of the rocks. The colors vary from pink to orange. It is part of the Grand Staircase.
The park takes its name from Mormon pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, who lived at the base of Bryce Canyon from 1875 to 1880. In 1924 the area was declared a national park. In ancient times, Bryce Canyon was a drover's nightmare; it was impossible to keep an overview of the herd in this area.
