Bryce Canyon National Park

Thousands of delicately carved spires rise in brilliant color from the amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon National Park. Millions of years of wind, water and geologic mayhem have shaped and etched the pink cliffs at Bryce, which isn't actually a canyon but the eastern slope of the Paunsaguant Plateau.

Your first view of Bryce Canyon is dramatic, as rows of pine trees veil the color and grandeur of the canyon until you reach the rim. Here the brilliant hues come alive - especially with the rising and setting of the sun. Visitors may take a 37-mile round-trip drive to Bryce Canyon's 15 most popular viewpoints. Here are the main sections of Bryce Canyon:

• Fairyland Point
• Bryce Amphitheater (Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point)
• Rainbow and Yovimpa Points
