Rainbow Point is the highest part of the park at 2,775 meters

The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which was not formed from erosion initiated from a central stream, meaning it technically is not a canyon.

Bryce Canyon is a collection of giant natural #amphitheaters
A series of amphitheaters extends more than 30 kilometers (20 miles) north-to-south.
The largest is Bryce Amphitheater, which is 19 kilometers (12 miles) long, 5 kilometers (3 miles) wide and 240 meters (800 feet) deep.
Bryce Canyon is famous for its worldly unique geology.
The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors.
