BEAUTIFUL Bryce!

Bryce Canyon is towards the western edge of the Colorado Plateau.  It is actually not a canyon but rather an escarpment on the eastern side of the Paragaunset Plateau which rises to over 9000 ft.  It runs for over 30 miles providing many variations on the overall character of wind and water eroded spires in so many colors - pinks, reds, oranges, whites, tans etc.







The proliferation of shapes and sizes staggers the imagination



There are a number of overlooks that provide spectacular views out over the pillars, columns, arches that make up such a large percentage of the scenery.





This is called "Poodle Rock"
