Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park, in southern Utah, is a surreal environment made up of a dozen amphitheaters, or horseshoe-shaped canyons, carved out of the Paunsaugunt Plateau's eroding escarpment. Visitors who like exploring the slot canyons, windows, fins, and, most famously, the tall, slender spires known as hoodoos, are enthralled by the unique limestone rock formations caused by erosion and rain.

Bryce Canyon National Park, in fact, has more hoodoos than anywhere else on the planet. On a clear day, Bryce provides around 150 miles of visibility because of its elevation of 9,115 feet. In addition, because it receives relatively little light pollution, the park provides ideal circumstances for stargazing. In fact, Bryce Canyon was named an International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association in 2019.
