Bryce Canyon National Park

Founded in: 1928

Size of the Park: 35,835 acres

Topography: Renowned for having the largest concentration of hoodoos (irregular rock spires) on Earth, which are formed by annual freeze-thaw cycles

Number of Annual Visitors: 2.5 Million 

Popular Hikes: Rim Trail, the steep Peek-a-Boo Loop, and the iconic Wall Street section of the Navajo Loop

Breuer Fun Facts: Bryce Canyon sits at over 9,000 feet above sea level and it was extremely cold when we were there (down to sixteen degrees overnight).  This combination of warm (our first day in Zion) and cold officially makes it a trend of going to National Parks over spring break with both high highs and low lows.
