Graduation Trip - 28th May–3rd June 2016
Bryce Canyon is known for sandstone formations due to frost weathering and stream erosion of sedimentary rocks called hoodoos. The rim at Bryce varies from 8000 to 9000 ft. There are many spectacular hiking trails all across the park. Most hikes start with a steep descent and end with uphill climb.
Zion Canyon is the prominent part of Zion National park which is 15 miles long and upto half a mile deep cut through the sandstone by Virgin river over millions of years. Zion canyon is a paradise for hikers and was certainly my favorite place during the trip. The main hiking trail is along the virgin river called the Narrows. It involves wading upstream for long stretches and hiking along the river for rest and it can easily take a day to complete the hike.
