| Looking down on a walk known as the Navajo Loop |
 |
| Hoodoos, also known as fairy chimneys or tent rocks, typically form where a thin, but hard, top layer of rock covers a much larger quantity of soft rock |
 |
| Bryce Canyon's hoodoos are primarily caused by melting snow seeping into cracks and then expanding at night when winter temperatures drop well below freezing |
 |
| Trees have to make do with wherever they can find a foothold |
 |
| Often it is a precarious-looking existence |
 |
| Some rock formations have been named, eg the outcrop centre-rear at first glance looks like the Parthenon |
 |
| 'The Chimney' |
 |
| Paths are easy under foot, but can be steep |
 |
| 'The Caves' |
 |
| Chipmunk |
 |
| 'Windows on the World' |
 |
| Bryce Canyon is not a true canyon but rather a series of amphitheatres |
 |
| Humans are dwarfed by the size of some hoodoos |
