| At Bryce Canyon National Park, erosion has
shaped colorful Claron limestones, sandstones, and mudstones into
thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles, and mazes. Collectively called
"hoodoos," these colorful and whimsical formations stand in
horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters along the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt
Plateau in Southern Utah. |

|
Ponderosa pines, meadows and fir-spruce forests border
the plateau, while panoramic views of three states spread beyond the
park's boundaries. |

| Hiking in the canyon itself gives
a different impression of the canyon, certainly not less spectacular than
from the rim. |
