Bryce Canyon National Park


 Bryce Canyon National Park, home of some of the world's known hoodoos. 
The Paiute Indians believed that the hoodoos were ancient "Legend People", who were turned to stone as punishment for their bad deeds. 
Today, we know that this is a geological phenomenon due to erosion of the frost-wedging process. This is when the nights freeze and the days warm up to melt the snow or ice that is on top of the stone. The water melts into the cracks of the stone and when it freezes at night is splits the sandstone apart overtime creating these structures that captivate us, the viewer/observer.




Filtered light is always so neat looking.

Good morning from Sunrise Point
 We trekked through the hoodoos beginning with Navajo Loop --> Peek-A-Boo Loop --> Queens Garden. If you use your imagination, the hoodoos can look like many things and many of them have names because of this.

There are so many opportunities to create natural frames for pictures.
