We are now approaching the Bryce National Park and still the scenic way reveals to us more surprising panoramas, great landscapes that with the wild animals live us breathless.
Gli hoodoos sono delle formazioni di roccia sedimentaria che nei secoli sono state modellate dagli agenti atmosferici e in particolare hanno una forma che richiama quella di guglie o totem, con varie tonalità di rosso, arancione e giallo.
A questo spettacolo della natura si aggiunge il verde scuro dei pini gialli (ponderosa) e degli abeti rossi completando un paesaggio fantastico.
Above is the first picture of Bryce typical rocks, known as Hoodoos.
From Wikipedia: A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "totem pole-shaped body."
