The high elevation of Bryce Canyon on the Colorado Plateau can lead to shortness of breath when hiking. This same high altitude also creates the climate that weathers the cliffs and bulbous columns (called hoodoos) captured here. In winter ice and snow crack the canyon formations open by expansion of ice trapped in the hollows and crevices. In summer their vibrant orange and red hues contrast beautifully with the greenery of the surrounding pine trees. At such high elevation, Bryce Canyon offers stunning views that showcase the unique geological features shaped by erosion over thousands of years.
