Hoodoos, pillars of rock which are remnants of erosive forces, blanket Bryce Canyon National Park. The oranges and reds are beautiful. Snowfall the day before added to the scene. Another iconic symbol for Utah, Bryce Canyon should be on everyone’s “bucket list”.

As at Delicate Arch in Arches NP, usually in warmer months you could count on a crowd in the park. On this day in February, I was alone. The silence was truly remarkable; another wonderful experience. Hiking throughout the park was carefree. With few hikers I was able to create numerous images without a worry. For this image, an approaching snow squall from the east provided for wonderful contrasts with the sun-bathed hoodos.
