Travel Wallpaper – October 2009 – Bryce Canyon National Park
by Chris Christensen Add commentscategories: Uncategorized

This photo is of Thor’s Hammer and the surrounding hoodoos at Bryce Canyon National Park. It is odd to hear people, even the National Park Service, refer to “Bryce canyon” but Bryce is not a canyon. It is at high elevation and the limestone has been warn away over the years. The spires of Bryce have a harder dolomite cap that has protected a column of limestone from erosion. Bryce is easily one of my favorite National Parks if not my favorite. My favorite hike is the Navajo trail down into the hoodoos.
