- Title: Bryce Ampitheatre from Sunset Point
- Description: Bryce Canyon erosion has exposed delicate and colorful pinnacles called hoodoos that are up to 200 feet high. A series of amphitheaters extends more than 20 miles north-to-south, with the largest being Bryce Ampitheatre depicted here. The Bryce Canyon area shows a record of deposition that spans from the last part of the Cretaceous period and the first half of the Cenozoic era. The colorful Claron Formation, from which the park's delicate hoodoos are carved, was laid down as sediments in a system of cool streams and lakes that existed about 40 million years ago. Different sediment types were laid down as the lakes deepened and became shallow and as the shoreline and river deltas migrated.
