Bryce Canyon - a helluva place to lose a cow.

Bruce Canyon is most commonly seen from the rim.


Viewpoints along the road open on vistas of striped cliffs, drop-offs and rock spires called hoodoos.


The night after I arrived, the first winter storm struck the area.  I stayed toasty in Enterprise as the winds outside brought snow to these high elevations.  In the morning, the frosting on the formations made a delightful contrast.

The best way to get a sense of the canyon is to walk one of the many trails that descend from the rim.

The light becomes surreal.


One final shot - the "Poodle" of Bryce Canyon.
