Bryce Canyon

Ebenezer Bryce is the name.
Bryce Canyon National Park is a national park located in southwestern Utah in
the United States. Contained within the park is Bryce Canyon. Despite its name,
this is not actually a canyon, but rather a giant natural amphitheater created by
erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due
to its geological structures, called hoodoos, formed from wind, water, and ice erosion
of the river and lakebed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks
provide spectacular views to visitors. Bryce is at a much higher elevation than nearby
Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet
