Bryce Canyon National Park is a smaller National Park located in Utah that is packed with beauty and amazing hikes! One unique feature of Bryce Canyon National Park is the amazing hoodoo formations. According to National Geographic’s book, Secrets of the National Parks, “Angka-ku-wass-a-wits (‘red painted faces’) is one of several names for Bryce Canyon National Park attributed to the Paiute people, who believed the ruddy pillars of the area were their human ancestors turned to stone.” Many of the hoodoo formations look like they have faces carved right into the sides of them. Whether you go to Bryce Canyon to star gaze, hike up Wall Street, or gaze across a sea of hoodoos, Bryce Canyon is sure to capture your heart! Be sure to visit the park website for current closures and conditions.
