This site features geologic information, maps, and visitor information for Bryce Canyon National Park. The discussion covers the geologic history of the area (Cretaceous Seaway), some of the stratigraphy (Claron Formation), and the process of differential erosion that produced the park's spectacular landforms ('hoodoos', spires, pinnacles). There are also brief discussions of Native American inhabitation of the area and 19th century exploration of the area by Europeans. Other materials include an image gallery, links to related websites, and general information about the park's education and intrepretive programs.
