Bryce Canyon, a natural amphitheater filled with whimsical rock spires known as hoodoos, is a geological marvel. These orange and pink formations, which glow like lanterns at dawn, are the result of millions of years of erosion and geological processes. High on Utah's Paunsaugunt Plateau, Bryce offers compact beauty, accessible trails, and skies so dark you'll see the Milky Way stretch from horizon to horizon.
