While not being a canyon, Bryce Canyon is an exciting national park where you can see truly unique landscape, and let your fantasy loose on all the oddly shaped geological formations and their many different colours.
Bryce Canyon is in fact not a canyon, but rather a collection of amphitheatres at the eastern slope of the Paunsaguant Plateau. Inside, ages of erosion and climatic influence have shaped the forms we see today. Bryce Canyon lies at around 2,500 metres, and temperatures have extremes that are far apart, thus adding to the impact on the landscape. The next morning, we woke up very early (again!) and after another sunrise at Sunrise Point, we walked down to do the Queens Garden Trail. Not quite as narrow as the trail we had done the day before, this is a very pleasant short hike down fantastic formations which you can appreciate from below, from mid-height, and from above. Small tunnels hacked through hoodoos make way for the trail, that abruptly ends. It is only here that we finally saw the Queen Victoria look-alike hoodoo, after which the Garden is named - we had been trying to see her profile in some of the other hoodoos we had seen before. Hiking up the hill again, we realized the rapid rise in temperature - from here, we continued to Inspiration Point. Here, we partly walked the rim again, from where we had awesome views of the strange landscape below us.
