Bryce Canyon National

Hoodoos Protruding

Me Watching the Great
Nature
Bryce
Canyon National Park is located in Southwestern Utah in the United States.
Despite its name, it is not actually a canyon because it was a collection of
giant natural amphitheaters. The important characteristic of Bryce Canyon is
its distinctive geological feature. Bryce Canyon was formed with hoodoos, tall,
thin spire of rocks that protrude from the bottom of arid lands. Most rocks in
canyons I had seen were giant and roundish, but hoodoos were extended and
stretched up toward the sky. Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon were formed by frost
wedging and experience more than 200 thaw cycles annually. The nature formed
hoodoos, the multicolored rocks: red, orange, and white. Before ending up the
blog post, I should mention that the canyon was very cold… The snow was not
even melted in mid-March, and I had to wear padded jackets. If you are willing
to visit Bryce Canyon, You better need to have jackets even though it’s not a
wintertime.
