There's no place like Bryce Canyon National Park. Despite it looks gorgeous at anytime of the year, but the dawn and dusk in Bryce Amphitheater is always breathtaking. This is my second trip to Bryce Canyon, the last trip was during the government shutdown and we were only able to see some hoodoos outside of the park - at Ruby's Inn and the Red Canyon. This time, when I stepped out from the car, it totally blew my mind! How can such a beautiful piece of land exist on earth? Am I standing on earth?
OK, let me explain what is hoodoo. Hoodoo is a tall and thin spire of rock protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. It may range from 1.5 to 45 meters tall. Hoodoos were found in various places, such as Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, Cappadocia region of Turkey, Alpes-de-Haute-Procence in Paris, Devil's Town in Serbia, but nowhere in the earth has as many hoodoos as in the northern part of Bryce Canyon National Park.
This picture was taken at the Bryce Point, which is located just 3 miles from the visitor center. Despite it was freezing cold during the winter, I totally forgot about the cold when I saw this amazing landscape and start shooting. BTW, winter is a great time to photograph Bryce Canyon, it is much less crowded than summer time. Plus, you will get a bonus element in your shot - snow!
