CHUCK KUHN PHOTOGRAPHY
Bryce Canyon National Park is a scientist's laboratory and a child's playground. Because Bryce transcends 2000 feet (650 m) of elevation, the park exists in three distinct climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, Ponderosa Pine forest, and Pinyon Pine/juniper forest. This diversity of habitat provides for high biodiversity. Here at Bryce, you can enjoy over 100 species of birds, dozens of mammals, and more than a thousand plant species.
It is the uniqueness of the rocks that caused Bryce Canyon to be designated as a national park. These famous spires, called "hoodoos," are formed when ice and rainwater wear away the weak limestone that makes up the Claron Formation. However, the hoodoos' geologic story is also closely tied to the rest of the Grand Staircase region and the Cedar and Black Mountains volcanic complex. In short, Bryce has enough fascinating geology to fill a textbook
The photo that was on your main page called bryce canyon made me stop and stare. It is beautiful. I wish I could have seen that.
I love your photos, very well done. What I think is the best thing of all, is you shared places in a way that makes a viewer envy your experiences.......
Chuck, you've just added another to my long list of places I have to visit sometime. Fabulous light and colour in many of these shots, and a perfect place to take advantage of them. And the image (IMG_0709-1) that you chose for the top of this page is fantastic in a fairly literal sense.
