Today we traveled to Bryce Canyon. If you have never been there, you should add it to your bucket list. It was never on mine and I am glad I got to see it in person. It is like no other place on earth.

Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southwestern Utah. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon,  but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters. It is distinctive due to geological structures called Hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views. It was named after Ebenezer Bryce who settled there in 1874,

“Stepping out onto any lookout, you are invited to connect with an amazing example of some of the most unusual terrain on this planet, making you feel as though you are stepping foot on the edge of another world.”

“You are not a tree. You are not bound

to the ground you walk on. You have

wings and dreams and a heart full of

wonder. So pick up your feet and go.

Spread kindness like a wildflower

wherever you go. Fall in love with the

life you live, and always leave people

better than you found them.“
