Photographer’s Note

It is the uniqueness of the rocks that caused Bryce Canyon to be designated as a national park. These famous spires, called hoodoos are formed when ice and rainwater wear away the weak limestone that makes up the Claron Formation.
Because Bryce transcends 2000feet (650m) of elevation, the parc exists in three climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, Ponderosa Pine forest, and Pinyon Pine/juniper forest.
