Bryce Canyon National Park, Nov 21

The are pictures from Bryce Canyon NP, our favorite of the five Utah national parks. In Bryce Canyon, for at least 200 days a year, water freezes at night and then melts during the day. The expansion of the water between the rocks when it freezes at night forces the rock farther and farther apart, creating a series of rock towers called hoodoos. For shear multitude of cool rock formations, Bryce is the place to go. Instead of captions, Ben named each picture.

Fairyland

Tree

Into the depths

Straight and narrow

The path

Forest interrupted

White (sandstone) power

Red gate

City

Rock forest

Layers

Hell meets Earth
