Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon, Utah

The park itself lies along the edge of a cliff, the pink cliffs, which are the upper-most step in Utah's Grand Staircase. The canyon is named after Ebenezer Bryce, an early Mormon settler who homesteaded at the mouth of the Canyon in what is now the town of Tropic. Brother Bryce cut a road into the canyon to harvest timber, a road used by other settlers in the area, so they called it Bryce's Road, and the canyon, Bryce's Canyon. The settlers didn't seem to say much about the oddity of the canyon's appearance. Being practical people, they were more concerned with immediate needs. The famous quote from Brother Bryce, "It's a hell of a place to lose a cow" is not just a joke.
