Bryce Canyon National Park (pron.: /ˈbraɪs/) is a national park
located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major
feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is
not a canyon but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters
along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is
distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed
by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed
sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the
rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at
a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim
at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
