Bryce Canyon (United States)

God's Art-Gallery - Ritesh Christie

There are loads of beautiful and wonderful places around the world to roam. There are many places in the world that are full of natural wonders. Speaking of the canyon, the great Colorado River in the United States of Arizona is remembered as the Grand Canyon, but in the same state of Utah, there is such a wonderful place called Bryce Canyon. Although the Bryce Canyon is not a valley created by the river, it is a mountainous region surrounded by nature's unmarked carved rocks.

To the southwest of Utah lies Bryce Canyon with what looks like an amphitheater just west of the Ponsaugant Plateau. In ancient Rome and Greek times, circular or elliptical arenas were formed with stage in the center and rounded seats all the way down to the top. The construction was called an amphitheater but Bryce Canyon appears to be a nature-created amphitheater. The highlight of Bryce Canyon is the geographical design known as the Hoodoo.

Hoodoo is called a long, thin tower of rocks. The feature of these rocks is that they are soft at the bottom and relatively hard at the top. Due to such a structure, the rocks are relatively thin and long, but withstand wind and rain. Carved natural minarets, these rocks have been caused by depositing layers of sediment over millions of years. Nature has not only carved out these rocks, but also has red, saffron and white colors. Especially in the early evening and early evening, in the sunlight, the rocks are dyed red. Bryce Canyon was created as a result of an ecological process known as Frost Withering, in which air, in addition to water, collide with rocks.

There is no specific information about when human habitation may have begun in the Bryce Canyon area. Archaeological surveys show that human habitation began ten thousand years ago in this area. In modern times, the founders of the Mormon cult in the Bryce Canyon region first started living in the 1950s, and the region was named after the name of Ebenezer Bryce, a Mormon founder. Later in the 1920s the area around Bryce Canyon was first declared a national monument and later the whole area was turned into a national park.

The entire region of Bryce Canyon takes two days to rotate. There are places to visit, such as Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, as well as Sunrise and Sunset Point. The highest point in Bryce Canyon is known as Rainbow Point, which is 9,105 feet high. This is the final stop of the 29km trek to Bryce Canyon. Standing at Rainbow Point, you can see places like Bryce Amphitheater, Henry Mountain, Vermillion Cliff and White Cliff. The lowest point of Bryce Canyon is known as Yellow Creek which is also 6620 feet high.

Tourists from all over the country flock to see this beautiful place. Although the region is inaccessible, there are a handful of tourists. However, because of the inland area, there are far fewer tourist attractions than the Grand Canyon. Besides hiking and hiking, there are also horseback riding and biking facilities. At Bryce Canyon, it is warm weather but during the winter months the temperature here falls below zero degrees. In the winter, when the entire region becomes icy, skiing and sledding can be enjoyed here. Apart from this, the Balloon Festival is also celebrated in which it is fun to sit in the hot air balloon and watch the landscape.
