In Byrce Canyon, erosive forces have created thousands of spires, pillars, and rocky temples, whimsically arranged within huge amphitheaters of red rock. These formations are smaller and more intricate than those seen at Zion and the whole feel of the park is more energetic and free-form.
Bryce Canyon was established as a s a national monument in 1923 and became a national park in 1928. The average summer temperature is 82 degrees. The average rainfall is 15 inches per year.
