Bryce Canyon National Park is located in the northeast of Utah. In fact, this is not a canyon, but a giant amphitheater of the sharpest rocky peaks of all shades of orange. Bryce is less popular than its neighbors - the national parks of Grand Canyon and Zion, because of the relative remoteness of the park. However, tourists often combine visits to these three parks on one trip.
