Bryce Canyon National Park is a unique geological spectacle in the US state of Utah. It features a series of amphitheaters filled with the largest collection of naturally carved rock pillars known as hoodoos, that cannot be seen anywhere else on earth. It is an incredibly beautiful park that no pictures can truly do justice.

Every viewpoint in the park leaves visitors awestruck by the brilliant scenery - a mix of red, orange, yellow and white color hoodoos, fins and slopes. It is simply astonishing how millions of years of weather and erosion has sculpted a landscape this rich and distinctive.
Beautiful view / One of the trails
Many trails across the park gets visitors up-close and personal with the formations. Walking among these tall standing oddly shaped hoodoos simply feels otherworldly, kind of spooky but surreal at the same time. Some of the pillars are over hundred feet tall and some are interestingly shaped to resemble Thor's Hammer, Queen Victoria, Natural Bridge to name a few.

Trails are windy, dusty and of varied difficulties. You have to get down and get your shoes dirty to really feel the park. Make sure you are wearing comfortable hiking shoes. By the end of the day, you would return awestruck having walked among some of the fascinating natural structures, and your shoes would be unrecognizable.
