Why go there?

Bryce Canyon National Park is renowned for its hoodoos -- tall, thin rock spires formed by erosion -- some of the most unique geological formations in the world. The Paiute Native Americans believed that the hoodoos were actually Legend People who had been turned to stone. With its high elevation, Bryce Canyon provides stunning vistas and excellent opportunities for stargazing. Hiking through the crimson-hued amphitheaters. Rainbow Point, Fairyland Canyon and Silent City are all must-sees. And for those looking for a little adventure, the 5.5 mile Peek-A-Boo Loop trail is a great way to explore Bryce Canyon.
