Bryce Canyon is in southwest Utah close to Zion National Park. It is a bowl shaped cliff with unusual features due to erosion. It freezes over two hundred nights a year, yet gets very little rainfall. The freezing and thawing cycles erode the soft dirt except where stones cap it. This gives deep fissures and rock formations known as Hoodoos.
