Bryce Canyon was named after Ebenezer Bryce, a mormon who homesteaded the park in the late 1800’s. Mormons in Utah? I don’t believe it.
The park isn’t actually a canyon, but rather a collection of naturally formed amphitheaters. Bryce Canyon is chock full of interesting rock formations of all shapes and sizes as a result of thousands of years of erosion.
The rocks are colorful, with natural hues of red, orange, and white, creating scenic vistas for tourists to photograph with their smart-phones.
Bryce Canyon has eight different hiking trails, ranging from easy to strenuous, and even overnight. Nothing is more romantic than an overnight hike, and some pop-tent wilderness sex.
The park has more than 10 miles of skiing trails, which are marked, but ungroomed. This means you can get some great skiing in, but you should keep your eyes open for trees or you may end up a paraplegic.
