Per me la più spettacolare vista che si possa ammirare negli Stati Uniti, senza nulla togliere agli altri magnifici parchi. Qui una distesa infinita di guglie rosso/arancione, scolpite dagli agenti atmosferici nel corso dei millenni, disegna un panorama irreale
The last upload of my 6 years ago series...Here Bryce Canyon which is a fairy tale especially in the morning....
I've been back from my canyons trip for more than a week and am sorting out the many photos that I took. Bryce Canyon made a strong impression. The photos in this post were taken at the beginning of the canyon, more dramatic scenes were yet to come.
Bryce Canyon NP
ENGLISH
Bryce Canyon National Park (/braɪs/) is an American national park located in southwestern Utah. 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 Canyon National Park is much smaller, and 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).
The Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon was originally designated as a national monument by President Warren G. Harding in 1923 and was redesignated as a national park by Congress in 1928
NEDERLANDS
Bryce Canyon is een Nationaal Park gelegen in het zuidwesten van de Amerikaanse staat Utah. Bryce Canyon is beroemd om zijn unieke geologische rotsformaties. Door de samenwerkende krachten van vriezen en dooien worden de kalk- en zandsteenformaties langzaam geërodeerd en vormen zo de zogenaamde hoodoos. De afgesleten toppen zorgen voor prachtige formaties die in het zonlicht erg mysterieus lijken. De zon zorgt voor schakeringen van de kleuren van de rotsen. De kleuren variëren van roze naar oranje. Het is een onderdeel van de Grand Staircase.
Het park dankt zijn naam aan de Mormoonse pionier Ebenezer Bryce, die van 1875 tot 1880 aan de voet van Bryce Canyon woonde. In 1924 werd het gebied uitgeroepen tot nationaal park. In vroeger tijden was de Bryce Canyon een nachtmerrie voor veedrijvers; het was ondoenlijk in dit gebied een overzicht over de kudde te behouden.

Those hoodoos just keep inexorably marching forth from the living rock.
