Bryce Canyon National ParkDescriptionBryce Canyon National Park was named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce. It became a national park in 1924. This unique park in southern Utah consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
The park offers breathtaking panoramic views of three states and some of the most exciting and memorable walks and hikes imaginable.
A Paiute Indian narrative explains Bryce as the home of the Legend People, fantastic animals and birds who angered the god Coyote and were turned to stone in their beautiful basin home.
Bryce Canyon National Park exists in three distinct climatic zones. It is a reason of the diversity: the park is home to more than 100 species of birds, dozens of mammals, and more than a thousand plant species.
