Couple from India calls Bryce Canyon a “poetic stone amphitheater”

In a recent travel column in the Deccan Herald, a couple from India talks about their recent explorations of Utah’s national parks, including Bryce Canyon. They described Bryce Canyon as “a poetic stone amphitheater with its myriad canyons, ‘fins’, and hoodoos — the magical pillars of rock in a hundred fantastic shapes and shades of red, ocher, brown and orange, with pine, spruce and fir embellishing the landscape.” Visiting in mid-May, the couple experienced a light dusting of snow – the first for their two children – and admired deer grazing from the road.

If you want an experience similar to this couple’s Ruby’s Inn, the closest accommodations to the entrance of Bryce Canyon, always has the red carpet rolled out with fine accommodations and desirable amenities.
