This park in full of formations containing colorful eroded rock mazes, fins, pillars, and spires. The structures are known as &#8220;hoodoos,&#8221; formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide stunning views. These formations, while being of a relatively soft stone will change their shapes during a human lifetime. \u00a0In a geologically short period of time they will no longer exist. \u00a0(See image below of the dissolved hoodoos.) \u00a0The Canyon was settled by the Mormons in 1850 and is named for Ebenezer Bryce. The rim of my images ranges in elevation from 8,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level. Check out the images below and see if you don&#8217;t agree that they are among some of the best yet. \u00a0This might explain why I have posted so many.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_439\"
