Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park is a National park that is located in the southwestern region of the state of Utah. While not an actual canyon, Bryce is known for its breathtaking scenery and unique geological structures and rock formations - features that were created by thousands of years of ice and water erosion. Named after the Mormon pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, the area was designated a National Park on September 15, 1928. While Bryce is located in close proximity to Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, it is still a popular tourist destination for travelers in the southwest region of the United States.
