Bryce Canyon is a special and amazingly beautiful place. While I was in the area I took multiple trips to the park to be able to see most of it. There are some areas that can only be seen by strenuous hiking.
The tree above has an amazing network of roots that enables it to live in this harsh patch of sand.
This is a closeup of part of a Bristlecone tree. You can see the pine cones on it and if you look at the very end of that branch, it looks like another pine cone. During the tour we had a very informative bus driver and he told us that it is actually a pollinator. I think this is the first time I've seen a Bristlecone and it's very unique.
The photo above shows the tops of some of the hoodoos that are throughout the canyon area. The hoodoos are caused by erosion and ice and wind. In the following pictures you'll see multiple examples of them.
This last photo shows an arch, also caused by erosion.
