One summer we took a few weeks to explore several parks. Bryce was first- an amazing work of God & Nature. Other parks visited were Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde and Grand Canyon/North Rim. Each one has its own story & natural glory. There are so many to explore that it’s hard to pick the best one!
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

Bryce Canyon is known for it's incredible views. It is critical that we protect these views. Southern Utah's industry threatens these views and the health of our Southern Utah communities.
