Er, hoodoos? What’s that? Well, that’s what oddly shaped pillars of rocks are called, and you can find the largest number here in Bryce Canyon National Park (and it’s got nothing to do with voodoo). The park is famous for its massive natural amphitheaters and the hoodoos. They’re formed by frost weathering and the rush of water from rivers and rocks. The undulating range of colors is always stunning, from red and orange to even white, with patches of deep green in the middle. And with forests come life, so you can be sure that it’s not just the rock formations you’ll be looking at while visiting.

Hike past the jaw-dropping sights of the hoodoos, framed by giant pine trees that can be as old as 5 millennia in some areas! A squirrel nibbles on a nut, settled on the twisted branch of a fallen tree trunk, and mule deer graze nearby. There are trails of varying difficulty, so whether you're a seasoned adventurer or simply on a sightseeing trip, you're bound to have fun. Owing to the elevation of about 8000 to 9000 feet, the park is a winter wonderland during the cold months. The colorful amphitheaters are a snow-capped stretch for as far as the eyes can see. Try snowshoeing or even cross-country skiing! Feeling a little reluctant to move your legs? You can enjoy scenic drives and admire the beauty of the park from the major outlooks, so no matter what you do, it'll definitely be a blast!
