Famous for its spires, known as hoodoos, Utah`s Bryce Canyon National Park reveals a geologic story of limestone worn away by ice into a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The uniqueness of the colorfully carved rocks caused Bryce Canyon to be designated as a national park in 1924. Hiking trails wind through a wondrous landscape of mazes made of spires and whimsically arranged rocks of spectacular colors, making Bryce Canyon a hiker’s paradise.
