Grottos and Hoodoos!

Bryce Canyon is north east of Zion and it took us just less than 2 hours to reach Bryce from Zion. The drive is beautiful, dotted with small villages and winding through mountains. Just before we reached Bryce, we drove through a much smaller Red Canyon.

Red Canyon

Bryce is a unique canyon with beautiful, vertical rock formations called Grottos and Hoodoos. You can walk along the nice walking trail along the rim of the canyon or drive to all the view points.

There is no way my photos capture the beauty and splendor of Bryce. With the following fotos, I tried something new. While looking at "Thor's Hammer" formation,  some wheels in my brain cranked and I thought the only way to capture the beauty of Bryce is by taking vertical panoramic shots.
