Fairyland Canyon, located one mile north of Bryce National
Park's entrance station, offers an opportunity to see hoodoos at an
"eye-to-eye" level. These hoodoos have inspired
imaginations for years, and visitors today are bound to be as enchanted
as were the Paiute Indians, who saw the hoodoos as ancient people
turned to stone.

Located in the north end of the park, the structures
that fill Fairyland Canyon are younger (erosionally speaking) than those
further to the south in the main amphitheater, and will be developed
more fully as the erosional processes continue to wear away the land
in a north and westward direction. By contrast, immediately to the south
is Campbell Canyon, where you can hike through a "hoodoo graveyard."
In this region, all the hoodoos have eroded away leaving multicolored
clay mounds, which like tombstones, mark their passing. Campbell Canyon
can only be reached by hiking the Fairyland Loop Trail. However, the
two RV Gypsies did NOT hike this trail nor any other trail at Bryce
Canyon on this date. |
