The Happy Traveller
Hammer Time!
This is Bryce Canyon National Park. It is located in southwestern Utah, United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called "hoodoos" formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The hoodoo formation pictured herein is named Thor's Hammer. It is one of the most photographed formations in the Park. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
