Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the great wonders of the world. We guarantee that you've never seen anything like Bryce Canyon. The Bryce Canyon Country Cabins are located just one mile from the boundary of the National Park and only eleven miles from the main entrance. We are also located next to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, which is one of the newest National Monuments in America. Bryce Canyon is actually a series of amphitheaters cut into the Eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt plateau. The National Park ranges in elevation, along the rim, from approximately 8,000 feet to over 9,000 feet at the northern end of the park. The formations within Bryce Canyon National Park, called Hoodoos, are the creation of wind and water erosion over eons of time. The natural orange and red hues that color these formations are the result of iron oxidizing within the rock. Bryce Canyon National Park is truly one of the most spectacular scenic wonders in the world. Step down inside these canyons and you will feel as if you have entered another world. The Native American Indians in this region long referred to Bryce Canyon as "a bowl shaped canyon with men standing without hands." In 1875, Mormon settler Ebenezer Bryce came to the Paria Valley to live and to harvest timber along the canyon rim. His neighbors began to refer the canyon behind his home as Bryce's Canyon. In 1924, national legislation was written which gave Bryce Canyon official National Park status as Utah National Park. Later in 1928 the provisions of the 1924 legislation were properly met and the park name was changed to Bryce Canyon National Park. Red Canyon is not part of the National Park but is managed by the U.S.
