Words fail to describe the beauty of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Bryce is famous for its forests, horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters and fanciful rock pinnacles called “hoodoos.” The park’s Farview Point offers spectacular views of the Grand Staircase — an immense sequence of sedimentary rock layers that stretch south from Bryce Canyon through Zion National Park and into the Grand Canyon.
