Bryce Canyon, United States
Bryce Canyon is not actually a canyon but a series of natural amphitheaters along the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Thousands of hoodoos — tall, thin rock spires formed by frost wedging and erosion — create a landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth. At elevations between 8,000 and 9,100 feet, the park's clear, dry air also makes it one of the best places in North America for stargazing.

The elevation means cooler temperatures than other Utah parks — bring layers. Trails descend steeply into the amphitheater, so the hard part is the climb back out.
May through September for hiking. Winter snowfall on the red hoodoos creates extraordinary photography.
