If
you've never seen Bryce Canyon, it is difficult to describe. It isn't a
"canyon" at all but an amphitheater of pillars of limestone, eroded into
fantastic, intricate shapes and gloriously colored in shades of red, yellow,
purple, and lavender. Some pillars are even crowned with pure limestone
that glows like delicate white porcelain.
The
hoodoos will invariably grab your attention first. These brown, red, orange,
yellow, and white pinnacles of limestone, sandstone, and mudstone shoot
toward the sky in fanciful formation. Ponderosa pines, high-elevation
meadows, and fir-spruce forests border the rim of this canyon on the Paunsaugunt
Plateau.
If you find yourself longing for a breath of fresh air
and self-renewal in a tranquil, slower paced time zone, surrounded by some
of the world's most fantastic scenery, do not miss Bryce!
I can not adequately describe in words this beauty
of God's creation. If you ask me to proof that God exists .... I will show
you Bryce Canyon.... and you will understand.
The
sky never seems so blue as when viewed from the rim of Bryce Canyon.
This landscape of towering spires, arches and mazes is fodder for the imagination
and a delight to the eyes.

Bryce
Canyon is miraculous because it is always changing — no matter how many
times you look, there is always something different to see. How vivid
I remember my first glance over Bryce Canyon in 1999. It gripped
me with awe and fascination. All I could do was whisper.... so careful
not to desturb the silence. The landscape of Bryce possesses intricate
and delicate beauty. The views of the cathedrals, castles, windows
and arches painted in tints of pink, red, orange and cream captivated my
imagination. After winding among towering hoodoos later that day,
I developed a personal, intimate feeling for this exquisite land.
Later that day I stood in awe and watched how the sky was set aflame at
sunset. I realized Bryce is one of the most beautiful places
on earth. I can not adequately describe in words this beauty of God's
creation. If you ask me to proof that God exists .... I will show you Bryce
Canyon.... and you will understand.
