Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon is famous for its unique geology. The geology of Bryce Canyon consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Frost-wedging and dissolving rainwater help shape colorful limestone rock into bizarre shapes including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called "hoodoos."


Bryce Canyon is named after a Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce and became a national park in 1924. The entrance fees are $20 for aprivate vehicle, a Commercial Vehicle around $150 (depending # of seats) and the Individual Pass is $10.



We actually stayed in a hotel/motel a few miles away. The scenery is absolutely beautiful.




What state has the most national Parks? Utah, with 5. They are:

Capitol Reef National Park

The Canyonlands National Park

Zions National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park

Arches National Park


All of these National parks provide lots of entertainment for those who enjoy the outdoors. You should check it out and make some time to go visit!
