Bryce Canyon Wilderness ~ Hoodoo Fortresses on the Edge of the Park

Laying out on the remote southern edge of Bryce Canyon National Park lays a series of silent Hoodoo structures,  frozen under a thick blanket of snow in the dead of winter. 

As you can see here in this photo there are only a few small paths (which show up clearly in the snow) that traverse this remote and rugged area below the cliffs. This is an area of the park which very rarely gets visited, but there are a couple of dirt roads leading into the area on top and behind the cliffs. This location is far to the south of the main part of the pink cliffs that receive the bulk of the parks visitors.

Here is a link to google maps for the location of this beautiful place.

I call these structures “Hoodoo Fortresses” because they look like castles with palisades all lined up on the edge of the cliffs. This is located on the Pausaungunt Plateau within the huge Dixie National Forest.

I lensed during winter while exploring the wilderness area around the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument. It was quite cold filming this, well below freezing in the air and even with the manifold heat from the engine coming into the bottom of the cockpit, it was still biting cold. But the air was so clear you could see for miles, clearly over the horizon.

This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.  

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.
