This was on the highway just outside of Bryce when I was heading to Las Vegas. The drive was a beautiful one but took longer than it should have because I'd stop to photograph everything--couldn't help myself.

The glow on the stones was so nice.
Thanks so much for your favs and comments, much appreciated
Looking out across the Bryce Amphitheater on New Year's Day 2020. One could not have fortold the events of the coming year, the isolation, the social distancing, the uncertainty, the emotional strife, the political drama.
Were I to travel there again, this winter, I'm sure the sight would be similar, and there's some comfort in that. These formations have weathered far more tension, disruption and change than any one of us could know in 100 lifetimes.. Surviving change and being resilient is what has made these places so special...and, I think it is what makes individuals special too.
Congrats on Explore!

Another photo from the spring showing the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. I thought the snow really highlighted the colour of the hoodoos nicely. Hoodoos are weirdly shaped rock spires that look similar to totem poles, and are carved by water in arid environments.
Bryce Canyon National Park. The park is full of trees of course but, there was this large group of rock formations and on a small ledge within these rock formations was a lone tree growing out of the rock. For some reason this caught me eye.

Bryce Canyon National Park is a National Park located in southwestern Utah in the 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 red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park 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).
Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for crimson-colored hoodoos, which are spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Prime viewing times are around sunup and sundown.

Bryce Canyon NP. The Queen’s Garden Trail is a short, 0.9-mile route that drops about 320 feet below the canyon rim. Although the trail is not a loop, hikers can loop back up to the rim by combining a connecting trail with either branch of the Navajo Loop. Interesting rock formations along this popular path include Gulliver’s Castle, the Queen’s Castle, and Queen Elizabeth herself, an interesting rock formation that rises 50 feet west of the junction at the end of the trail.

The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m) so it is much higher than Zion National Park. We had snow in some parts on our visit. This image shows a much bigger hoodoo than most in this park. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_Canyon_National_Park
