Bryce Canyon National Park in the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area

Bryce Canyon National Park

Even the world-renowned Piano Guys find inspiration in the beauty of Bryce Canyon.

At Bryce Canyon National Park, erosion has shaped colorful Claron limestones, sandstones, and mudstones into thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles, and mazes. Collectively called “hoodoos,” these colorful and whimsical formations stand in horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters along the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in Southern Utah.
