A few dozen miles from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon lies a lesser known, but no less spectacular, canyon called Bryce Canyon. It is a gaping bowl filled to the brim with grottos and hoodoos carved by wind and water over millions of years.
Harder light-colored capstone prevents the arches from collapsing, but windows have been carved through the rock to create a haunting silhouette reminiscent of ancient temples.
In addition to the temple-like structures, there are strangely shaped spires that rise from the floor of the canyon standing like sentries guarding the secrets within its walls.
The wind whips across the rim of the canyon, at times strong enough to make one question the wisdom of hiking there. But the views are so spectacular that one would be remiss to not take advantage of them.
