Bryce Canyon NP

Bryce Canyon National Park is a visually stunning location. Since the Canyon runs along a north south axis, and the primary canyon wall of hoodoos face to the east, Bryce is a perfect spot for dramatic images during sunrise an early morning light. The hoodoos continue to glow bright orange throughout the day, and their arrangements along the canyon wall are almost overwhelming to the eyes and brain. Sunset brings deep shadows amongst the hoodoos, which has an altogether different look to end the day.
