First time to visit the Bryce Canyon National Park. Hiked the Hat Shop Trail from Bryce Point. Absolutely stunning view, it was mind blowing. Longest trail I had ever done unknowingly, about 8mi total out and back. An infamous trail, never saw a fellow hiker all throughout the hike. Most strenuous hike I did by far, it was all uphill on the way back. Overall, it was an amazing accomplishment given the cold weather. A very much needed escape for a well deserved piece of peace!
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
