Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

This photograph from Sunset Point looking down into one of the many natural ampitheaters of Bryce Canyon National Park was made on 4x5-inch transparency film.

At Bryce Canyon in southern Utah, erosion has shaped colorful limestones, sandstones, and mudstones into thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles, and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these colorful and awe-inspiring formations stand in horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters along the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Park trails follow the rim for much of its length, and also connect to a number of trails down into the mazes of canyons below.
