View of the distinctive geological structures called "Hoodoos" in an amphitheater at the Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah on March 11, 2011. Bryce Canyon is a small national park in southwestern Utah which was named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, and became a national park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its worldly unique geology, consisting of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The erosional force of frost-wedging and the dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called "hoodoos."
