Bryce Canyon National Park
Imagine 60 million
years ago, this place was ocean. Then a great seaway extended northwestward into this area. It deposited sediments
as it repeatedly retreated, then became some of the
earth most colorful rocks, which have been sculpted by erosion into pink rock pinnacles
called "hoodoos". Paiutes, the American Indians, who lived in this region when other
settlers came to southern Utah, accounted for the hoodoos as the "Legend
People" whom coyote had turned to stone.
