Bryce Canyon National Park is named for just one of many canyons which form a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters on the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Erosion has carved colorful Claron limestones into thousands of spires, fins, arches and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these unique formations are whimsically arranged and tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name.
Bryce Canyon National Park is one among the 48 National Parks in the United Sates and is located in the South of Utah. This national park is famous for its geology unique only to this park.
The eastern part or the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau can be seen from the Bryce Canyon Park which is in the southern part of Utah. This is considered to be a place for scientists as there is various research studies carried out in this Park. There are various astronomy programs that are offered that are carried out throughout the year.
This park is elevated to an altitude of 8000 to 9000 feet above sea level and hence the days are pleasant and the nights are cold. Bryce Canyon National Park receives some little heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are quite common in these parts during summer afternoons. All these factors attract many visitors every year.
