Bryce Canyon National Park is named for just one of many canyons which form a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters on the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Erosion has carved colorful Claron limestones into thousands of spires, fins, arches and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these unique formations are whimsically arranged and tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name.
Bryce Canyon National Park is one among the 48 National Parks in the United Sates and is located in the South of Utah. This national park is famous for its geology unique only to this park.
The eastern part or the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau can be seen from the Bryce Canyon Park which is in the southern part of Utah.
