Bryce Canyon National Park
Not a canyon at all but a row of huge natural amphitheatres cut into the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. They are crowded with hoodoos, thin spires of red, orange and white rock shaped by frost and water, seen from a rim between about 2,400 and 2,700 metres up.

Near Bryce Canyon National Park
Zion National Park 87 km
A national park in southwestern Utah where the Virgin River has cut a deep canyon through red and cream sandstone. Trails like Angels Landing and The Narrows, where hikers wade upstream between sheer walls, draw walkers from around the world.
Horseshoe Bend 103 km
A horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River near Page, where the river loops right around a tall sandstone outcrop. From the overlook on the rim it is a sheer drop of about 300 metres to the green water.
Antelope Canyon 112 km
A slot canyon on Navajo land near Page, its narrow passages carved by water through sandstone that glows orange and purple when sunlight slants in. It has several sections, chiefly the Upper and Lower canyons, and is visited with Navajo guides.
Grand Canyon National Park 176 km
The national park around the Grand Canyon, the gorge cut by the Colorado River through northern Arizona and often counted among the wonders of the world. From the South Rim, bands of red and buff rock drop well over a kilometre and a half to the river below.
Monument Valley 197 km
A valley on the Colorado Plateau along the Arizona and Utah line, where sandstone buttes rise as much as 300 metres above the desert floor. It lies within the Navajo Nation, which holds it sacred, and its silhouettes are familiar from decades of Western films.
Canyonlands National Park 219 km
A maze of canyons, mesas and buttes carved by the Colorado and Green rivers and their tributaries in southeastern Utah. The park was created in 1964, and its overlooks look down on layer after layer of coloured rock worn away by the two rivers.
Grand Canyon Skywalk 233 km
A horseshoe-shaped bridge with a glass floor, cantilevered out over a side canyon at Eagle Point in the Grand Canyon West area. It opened in 2007 outside the national park, on Hualapai land, and leaves you standing on glass high above the canyon floor.
Valley of Fire State Park 249 km
Nevada's oldest state park, about 19,000 hectares of red Aztec Sandstone formed from shifting dunes 150 million years ago. The rock seems to burn when the sun strikes it, which gives the valley its name, and ancient petroglyphs mark some of its walls.
