Bryce Canyon National Park |
| |
View thousands of majestic spires as they rise
in brilliant color from the amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon. Millions
of years of wind and water worked to carve out these natural minarets.
The most brilliant hues of the park can be seen at daybreak and
sunset. The canyon is more beautiful than ever during the winter
months when the delicately carved spires take on a new look with
their frosting of glistening snow. There are many walking and hiking
trails along the rim or to the bottom of the canyon, or a 30-minute
round-trip drive will take you to all of Bryces most famous viewpoints.
Horseback rides are also a great way to see the canyon. 5.5 hours
from Flagstaff. 1-801-834-5322  |
