BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK

Bryce Canyon (Utah) is not really a canyon like Grand Canyon but a group of amphitheaters of giant multicolored pillars ('hoodoos') sculpted by erosion during millions of years. It is dominated by a 2500m altitude plateau covered by a pine tree forest. Views dramatically change with the lighting.
