Bryce Canyon

 

Bryce Canyon

Farview Point (elevation 8,819 feet - 2,688 meters)

From here the Grand Staircase with several plateaus can be seen all the way to the Kaibab Plateau were the Grand Canyon North Rim is located. There is a significant change in the tree species as you look out over the land. The life zone changes from the Transitional zone were there are many Ponderosa pines and grassy meadows to the Canadian zone that supports tree life such as White Fir, Douglas Fir and Blue Spruce.

Winter at the Natural Bridge, Bryce CanyonNatural Bridge

The natural rock bridge has an 85 feet (38 meters) span. Although it is called a bridge, geologically this rock formation was due to water run off which geologists would call an arch. (Bridges are formed by stream erosion.) The view is awesome as you look under the bridge into the Bridge Canyon.

Agua Canyon

Another beautiful display of nature showing off its colors are here at Agua Canyon. A view of two well know hoodoos, The Hunter and The Rabbit can easily be identified by the small trees growing on top.
