After our marriage, we went to a trip to Utah and Arizona. Initially, we thought all the National Parks would be the same. Bryce was the 1st National Park we visited together. We totally loved it and learned how hoodoos are formed, how acid rain is effecting the hoodoos. We realized why National Parks are needed to preserve Nature, how we as humans could help in protecting it, so that the coming generations could witness these amazing wonders! Later, we also went to Zion and other National Parks and realized that each National Park is so unique in its own nature! At that time, we took a pact that we would visit all of the National Parks to witness these amazing wonders of Nature and do our best to preserve it! We also Joined National Parks Conservation Association to give our best to preserve the Nature!
Sincerely,
Bryce Canyon National Park
This popular park is most famous for its colorful hoodoos, and there are more of these artfully eroded spires here than anywhere else on Earth. The area is not actually a canyon, however, but a series of amphitheaters which feature remarkable rock formations and extensive forests dominated with conifers, including ancient bristlecone pines. Together with Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks, Bryce Canyon is part of a geologic wonder known as the Grand Staircase, an immense area of rock with layered sedimentary formations ranging from 600 million to 2,000 million years old.
State(s): Utah
Established: 1942
