Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon is a beautiful national park in Utah. It's not really a canyon. The main feature of the park is an amphitheater surrounded by a cliff that has eroded into thousands of rock spires, or hoodoos.
Here's another view from the top of the cliff.
Although the main spot for visitor viewing is at the top of the cliff, there are trails that go down and wind through the hoodoos.
Another trail through the hoodoos. The park is named after early settler Ebenezer Bryce. Bryce said it was a "hell of a place to lose a cow."
In this view from the cliff top, you can see a horizontal white stripe. I'm talking about the stripe in the rocks.

Another view from the cliff.
And another hiking trail.
We end with this photo called "Napping, Bryce Canyon." Sweet dreams!

#2 #3 #4 so nice artistic pics!
I would LOVE to live somewhere where a man could hike in the raw.
Same with me, Big Dude,
Looks as if Bryce Canyon has a mysterious effect on male hikers. All their clothes disappear. My kind of canyon.
Bryce Canyon is an amazing place. Can't remember - is it federal park? If so, naked hiking is permitted.
Such beautiful scenery!
@whkattk - Pat, it's a national park, so yes, it's Federal land. You're right that there is no Federal law banning public nudity, but it gets complicated. Rangers at some Federal properties defer to local laws (and Utah has a state law banning public nudity), though they generally let violators off with a warning; at other Federal properties, local anti-nudity laws are ignored. I don't know what the situation is at Bryce Canyon.
