Travel and Landscape Photography Series:Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park is in south-central Utah, in the western United States. Here is the location in google maps. It is not a particularly difficult park to get to, but still it is quite in the middle of nowhere. Actually within the lower 48 states, it is often quoted as a park with the darkest sky, farthest away from light pollution caused by the city lights. It is this fascinating collection of rock spires and "hoodoo"s as a result of millions of years of wind and water erosion. The most popular shot of Bryce is probably the Bryce Amphitheater. Here is my take on that shot:
The joke is this is probably the worst place to loose a cow. Well you be the judge of that!
Colors that can be seen in this place is unreal. Another interesting fact is Bryce is high in elevation in colorado plateau standard. You look down into the Bryce Canyon, which gives you a different perspective for a place like Zion Canyon, where you typically look up.
There are arches, but these looks different from the arches in Arches National Park. These are more eroded and had that rustic look to it, compared to the very slick look of Delicate Arch for example:
This is a rather small park, there is just only main road along the rim of the canyon. What a spectacular road that is! With views like this all around:
There are hiking trails that goes down into the canyon. More information on the National Park web page linked above.

Man, those formations are so cool! Looks like stalag...one of those that are in caves.
As if the top of the cave was scraped off and only the bottom stayed :)
Yes, they do look like Stalactite and Stalagmite. Difference is these are mostly formed by wind and water erosion, which is largely a physical weathering process that modified clastic sedimentary rocks. While Stalactite and Stalagmites are chemical weathering process in subterranean caves which modified carbonate sedimentary rocks. Need any more geology? :)
Pfrr... I know all that (without all those fancy words) :D
I just always confuse which one is from the top and which one form the bottom of the cave.
Stalactite from top and Stalagmite from bottom :)
Thank you :)
