Bryce Canyon National Park, UT

Bryce Canyon National Park is a scenic national park which is located to the southwestern part of Utah, in the United States of America. Contrary to its name, Bryce Canyon is not a canyon - it is a point that features a group of giant natural amphitheaters that are found along the Paunsaugunt Plateau’s eastern side.
Apart from the numerous amphitheaters, Bryce Canyon also features stunning hoodoos made naturally from red, white, and orange sedimentary rocks. The view of these hoodoos, especially from above, is what has made Bryce Canyon National Park an excellent tourist location.
Bryce Canyon National Park is relatively small, as compared to both the Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon National Park. It receives a moderately lower number of tourists, owing to its location on a much higher elevated point than the nearby Zion National Park, and for the fact that it is considered a little remotely placed.
The highest point of the Bryce Canyon National Park is the scenic Rainbow Point, standing a high 9,105 feet! It is located at a spot where a magnificent drive stops, providing with a viewpoint of all the areas below, including the giant Bryce Amphitheater, the White Cliffs of the Glen Canyon, the beautiful red rocks of the Vermilion Cliffs, and the ever-attractive snow-peaked Henry Mountains.
The lowest point of the Bryce Canyon National Park is the Yellow Creek, located at the exit of the park to the northeaster side, and it stands at 6,620 feet.
