The main attraction in Bryce Canyon National Park, the Amphitheater is a large chasm in the landscape filled with the greatest concentration of hoodoos, or large rock spires, anywhere on the planet. The red sandstone creates beautiful flashes of colour across the rocky terrain, with no two views being the same. As the sun tracks across the sky the shadows can drastically change how the area looks, creating stunning silhouettes and brilliant red light shows on the cliff faces. If you are going to visit only one place in Bryce Canyon, go to the Amphitheater.

From the rim trail you can see the size of the entire amphitheater. But to move in the middle, I found even more impressive.
