Bryce National Park, Utah

Bryce National Park is located in south-central Utah. The primary geologic features are Hoodoos. They are spires that are formed by the repeated freezing and thawing of water (dew and frost). The high elevation of the park leads to more than 200 days a year of daily freeze/thaw. The rocks are layered in amazing colors, white, orange, pink, brown. We took a great hike down into the canyon.



One section of the hike was called Queen Victoria's Garden. As you can see, Diane really liked this section of the trail.



Here are Bart and Alex next to a feature called the "fist" They had a great time climbing on and around the formations.



The trail went through very narrow passages at times. There were even a couple of tunnels cut through the walls to allow passage. It was like visiting another planet.
