Bryce Canyon National Park - Utah Bryce Canyon is located in south western Utah, pretty close to Zion National Park. It lies on the Colorado Plateau and was not formed from erosion by a stream, but rather headward erosion has excavated large amphitheaters shaped forms. Some of the amphitheaters extend more than 20 miles north to south within the park.

Humans have been in this area for at least 10000 years. When the ancient cultures left, the Paiute Indians moved into the surrounding valleys and plateaus, who hunted and gathered for their food and also used to have already some culivated products.

In the 18th century the European American people started to this remote and hard to reach area. Soon small Mormon groups followed and started to settle east of Bryce Canyon along the Paira River.

Today more than 400 native plant species live in the park. Amongst diverse animals having their habitat in the canyon and the plateaus, three wildlife species like the Utah Prairie Dog, the California Condor and the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher can be found as well.
