1. Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
 


It comes to the awesome rocky landscaping of Bryce Canyon National Park, which is scenically situated in southern Utah. There, you can come across miles of breathtaking vistas, which feature the majestic rock formations - Hoodoos. They are created lots of time ago due to the erosion forces of water and weather, and therefore the sedimentary rocks acquire unusual shapes such as pillars, arches, layered portions, etc. Plus, the awesome shapes of the Hoodoos are accompanied by a beautiful combination of colours. From pale yellow, to orange and reddish - the hues of these majestic rock formations provide truly spectacular and inspiring sights to witness. And probably the best time to visit the park is during the winter, because the air is refreshing, the Hoodoos are gently snow-topped and the panoramic vistas from the highest points (nearly 9,000 ft.) are unsurpassed, especially when everything is bathed in the golden glow of the sunset.
