Bryce Canyon


Bryce Canyon,Bryce Canyon,Bryce Canyon,

Is truly one of the most spectacular scenic wonders in the world.





The heat is really starting to get to us, as it's now in the high 90s.
It seems the further we go, the hotter it gets!

(Just glad we have aircon in the car and loads of water in the boot)

Bryce Canyon is our next national park.
(Thank goodness we purchased the annual park pass, it has now paid for it's self and some..)

This is the place for spectacular scenic views.
We just loved the "hoodoos".

Told you earlier that each of the National Parks, has something a bit different going for it.
And it just gets better as we go along.


It's definitely a place I'd reccomend to visit.


Our next stop was Red Canyon with it's own "Hoodoos".
And where Butch Cassidy once hid from a posse....

Yet, another must do....

Hope you like our photos as much as we do......

This is misnamed, the bridge is technically an arch. Natural bridges are carved by rushing streams. Arches are sculted by subtler forms of weather

No where else in the world can one find a concentration of pinnacles with odd shapes like those found in Bryce Canyon.

The natural orange and red hues that color these formations are the result of iron oxidizing within the rock.

Ancient rivers carved the tops and exposed the edges sculpting fantastic formations now called hoodoos.
