Bryce Point, Bryce NP. The stone columns, formed from wind, water, and ice erosion, are called "hoodos".
Bryce Canyon National Park had always been among my "top ten" places-to-visit-list. We arrived there in the early afternoon and pitches up our tent at the North campgound. Again it was no problem to find a vacant spot. Fortunately there was plenty of time left to visit some of the viewpoints along the rim (including Sunset Point, Inspiration Point + Bryce Point). When I approached Bryce Point I was speechless with admiration. Sooo beautiful! Like you would expect in a fairy tale. Despite its name Bryce Canyon it is not a canyon but rather a huge natural amphitheater. The "Canyon" is best known for the innumerable ammount of "
hoodoos", fascinating rock formations formed from wind, water, and ice erosion. From above the size of the hoodoos was only vaguely perceptible. On the following we would learn that they are huge!
What a day. We started at "Devils Garden" with its wonderful arches, visited the fascinating stony goblins at noon and chilled out in the evening at Sunset Point at Bryce Canyon. Just great!
