At
Bryce Canyon National Park, erosion has shaped colorful Claron limestones,
sandstones, and mudstones into thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles, and
mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these colorful and whimsical
formations stand in horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters along the eastern edge
of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in Southern Utah.
Operating Hours &
Seasons
The park is open 24
hours per day through out the year. There may be temporary road closures
during and shortly after winter snow storms until plowing is completed
and conditions are safe for visitor traffic. Road maintenance may require
brief closures of individual areas at other times.
