     Bryce Canyon is filled with wonders, that are very impressive. Many different formations, lie deep in the canyon bottom, creating beautiful experiences from place to place. Many people are able to have very good views just by walking the many trails and the points. It can be very pretty to just any things.

     Many trails are vary, long as in 4.0 miles long, or short as within a mile.  We only went on one trail, the Navajo Loop Trail. It was 1.3 miles round trip, and that was the second shortest one. It is located near the Sunset Point and the Sunrise point. Walking through Navajo Loop Trail, I feel like I am in Alice in Wonderland, with all the strange shaped and bright colored rocks around me. But there is no secrete holes, no rabbits in cloth, no cookies saying eat me, no beverages saying drink me. The whole canyon is so quite. On many trails, it is very dangerous if you fall down. If you like hiking, here is a suggestion. When you go towards the park exit, you can go to the Fairyland Trail, the longest trail. With a beautiful view, it can be about a mile to walk to the trail, and the trail goes for 4 miles deep down in the canyon. Worst part of the trail is to going up. It can be very hard and tiring.  I had a wonderful experience.

     Many outlook points are very pretty. But be careful, many outlooks don't have any railings. If you go too far, you can drop. The highest elevation point is Rainbow Point, reaching 9115 ft. We did not go that far, but we went to some other places, such as Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, Sunrise Point, and Fairyland Point. They were all very pretty and much of Bryce Canyon history was revealed. But more was discovered.

      Bryce Canyon has many formations, the most famous one called hoodoos, formed by erosion. The multicolored hoodoos, red, orange, and white colors of the rocks give us amazing views, especially  at sunrise and sunset. Do you know how the hoodoos formed? Water and ice are the sculptors of Bryce Canyon's wonderland. Ice cracks this rock apart as it freezes and thaws, weathering it into fins and hoodoos that spark curiosity and imagination. Standing at Bryce Canyon, watching the sun lights the whole canyon is the most enjoyable thing to do. Bryce Canyon sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The edge at Bryce Canyon hit the highest at 9,000 feet!

     Bryce Canyon is full of beauties, that can't be imagined. Each day, hundreds of visitors enter the amazing park. Hoodoos can be found anywhere, but here stands the largest collection of them. Come to Bryce Canyon, HIKE THE HOODOOS! Make it the must-do on your Bryce Canyon list. ENJOY THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE WONDERLAND!
