Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the great natural wonders of the world. The area around Bryce Canyon was originally designated as a national monument by President Warren G. Harding in 1923 and was redesignated as a national park by the U.S. Congress in 1928.

Out in the beautiful south Utah desert landscape. Red rocks, wild geology, and hoodoos. . . . .
It was a very interesting drive up in altitude to Bryce Canyon National Park.
Roadside hoodoos.
Such scenic views on the road up to the park!
An old snag, perhaps a lightning strike, along the edge of the canyon.
Weathered red rock spires . . .
Strangely carved cliffs with inviting caves . . .
The closer we got to the canyon, the more interesting things we saw.
Amazing geology.
The trail along the rim of Bryce Canyon offered many viewing points . . .
. . . and grand views!
Amazing rock formations!
Thousands of wondrous stone spires into the distance.
Just incredible! NATURE!
If you look closely, you can see that there are many walking trails through the spires . . sadly, we did not have time to walk any of them. Next time.
Another burnt lightning snag along the rim trail.
A phenomenal sight!
Standing out on a promontory above the canyon.
Different color rock formations . . .
An angry storm approached very fast. At this altitude there are always summer thunderstorms.
A light ran began as we hurried back to the camper.
We made it back to the camper as the skies opened.
The Storm.
