Not a Canyon!

Bryce Canyon is located within Bryce Canyon National Park of southwestern Utah, USA.  However Bryce Canyon is a collection of giant amphitheaters shaped features along the Paunsaugunt Plateau not an actual canyon.   Frost weathering, stream erosion or lake bed and river sedimentary rock created the canyon's unique geological structures called "hoodoos". The Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce.  Ebenezer homesteaded the area in 1874.  In was later designated as a National Park in 1928 with 35,835 acres of land.  It receives minimal visitors (compared to other national parks) due to it's remote location.  There appears to be plenty of thing to do and see at Bryce Canyon.  I say.. LOVELY!
