With these questions and answers in mind (hopefully) you can answer this next question.
Is Bryce Canyon National Park a canyon?
The park although not as dynamic as zion has its own flare. 9,000 feet high gorges drop to the valley below. Infamous hoodoos break free from the surrounding Plateau and join the landscape. Cold mountain breezes and large swathes of forests full of trees populate this National Park.
Mule deer graze through the snow covered forest floor in search of anything to eat as bears hibernate the winter away; Ravens still scoping the earth from above, scowering the land for a free meal whether a decomposing carcus or fresh road kill.
Lastly, why do our National Parks seem to be visited and appreciated by more foreigners than locals? I am not bashing the tourism and notariety nor am I unappreciative of the conversation I was able to have with two rangers after recieving another Junior Ranger badge. I am merely wondering where our appreciation is of these places unique to our large, diverse country that spans a continent and attracts millions of tourists. There is more to be explored then Yellowstone and Yosemite.
