Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon Hoodoos

More Hoodoos


Bryce Canyon National Park is about a two-hour drive from Zion National Park.  The first part of the trip takes you through a breathtaking section of Zion NP on a drive up a road of numerous hairpin turns with unprotected edges on the outer rims of the cliffs.  In order to access this road you must pass through the park gates and pay admission. 

One wonderful benefit of being a senior citizen in the USA is the ten-dollar lifetime pass to the National Parks.  We have used it often since we purchased it at Acadia NP in Maine a number of years ago. 

Bryce is a wonder.  The thousands of hoodoos are created from the limestone rock by rain and ice.  It is truly not a  describable place. It is something to be experienced.
