  • Bryce Canyon National Park History
    National Park Service Bryce Canyon U.S. Department of the Interior Bryce Canyon National Park From Curiosity to National Park It is a place that was known to the ancient hunters who wandered this part of North America thousands of years ago. To the Southern Paiute it was known as “Agka-ku-wass-a-wits,” which means red painted faces, and the rock formations were the Legend People, turned to stone by Coyote. For the Mormon Pioneers the canyon they named for Ebenezer Bryce was little more than a curiosity – and a place you wouldn’t want to lose a cow. By the early 20th Century, however, the word began to spread and people today come by the millions to marvel at the wonder and timeless beauty that is Bryce Canyon. Beginnings J.W. Humphrey was transferred to the town over the East Fork of the Sevier River of Panguitch in 1915 as the new Forest and complete a dry weather road to the Supervisor of the Sevier National Forest. plateau’s rim (which ended near the site of At the urging of Forest Service Ranger the present Bryce Canyon Lodge). By late Elias Smith, Humphrey first visited the 1916, two articles were written about the eastern escarpment of the Paunsaugunt canyon, one by Arthur Stevens, a member Plateau and, surprised at the “indescribable of the grazing crew, which was published in beauty” of the canyon, almost immediately a Union Pacific publication, Outdoor Life, began developing plans to publicize what and the other by Humphrey, under the pen he had seen.

  • Bryce Canyon National Park: Hoodoos Cast Their Spell
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Bryce Canyon National Park: Hoodoos Cast Their Spell Bryce Canyon National Park: Hoodoos Cast Their Spell (National Park Service) “When lighted by the morning sun the gorgeous chasm is an immense bowl of lace and filigree work in stone, colored with the white of frost and the pinks of glowing embers. To those who have not forgotten the story books of childhood it suggests a playground for fairies. In another aspect it seems a smoldering inferno where goblins and demons might dwell among flames and embers."¹ This description is one attempt of many to capture in words the awesome beauty of Bryce Canyon, where erosion has shaped colorful limestones, sandstones, and mudstones into a spectacular array of spires, fins, and pinnacles known as "hoodoos." These whimsically arranged hoodoos remind viewers of church steeples, Gothic spires, castle walls, animals, and even people. Formations with names such as the Wall of Windows, the Chessmen, Thor's Hammer, Tower Bridge, and the Poodle, suggest but a few of the likenesses. A legend of the Paiute Indians, who inhabited the area for hundreds of years before the arrival of European Americans, claims the colorful hoodoos are ancient "Legend People" who were turned to stone as punishment for bad deeds. Surrounded by the beauty of southern Utah and panoramic views of three states, these hoodoos cast their spell on all who visit. The area, now protected as Bryce Canyon National Park, has been a popular tourist destination since the 1920s. National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S.

After a week walking through Utah’s national parks, you’ve gotten used to descriptive names. Now it’s Zion’s colorful landscape that’s grabbing your attention. Your snaking climb up the zigzag path known as Walter’s Wiggles has earned you the best view of this Utah hiking trip. That’s saying something. Framed by sheer red-rock faces, the Virgin River winds through the verdant valley below. In a lifetime of walking, you’ve never seen scenery so divine. Bryce’s labyrinth of fiery-hued, wind-sculpted hoodoos. Shocks of slot-canyon greenery contrasting with ruddy streaks of mineral-rich “desert varnish.” The polychrome glow of Zion’s sandstone cliffs at dawn. Returning your gaze to Angel’s Landing, the knife- edged formation now soaring before you, you’ve got to admit—it’s a pretty apt name. Highlights From the edge of the rim, descend into the heart of Bryce Canyon on foot, observing natural amphitheaters and unique rock formations as you go. Explore the frontier beauty of Springdale, your home for three nights, and admire the local art inspired by Zion’s soaring backdrop of multicolored sandstone. With expert guides, discover how the Ancestral Puebloans thrived in Zion’s extreme climate, and perhaps spot their ancient rock art during your hike. 1 / 8 countrywalkers.com 800.234.6900 Activity Level This tour is one of our Guided Walking Adventures, rated moderate, walking an average of 2 to 8 miles per day, with occasional options.
