Ponderosa pines, high elevation meadows and fir-spruce forests border the rim
of the plateau, while panoramic views of three states spread beyond the Bryce
Canyon National Park boundaries. Bryce Canyon National Park is named for one
of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of
the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah.

Bryce Canyon National Park is named for one of a series of horseshoe-shaped
amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern
Utah. Erosion has shaped colorful Claron limestones, sandstones and mudstones
into thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos,"
these unique formations are whimsically arranged and tinted with colors too
numerous and subtle to name. This area boasts some of the nation's best air
quality. This, coupled with the lack of nearby large light sources, creates
unparalleled opportunities for star gazing.
