Bryce Canyon National Park panorama from near the 'Cathedral'


The National Parks in the United States protect some of our most dramatic and unusual landscapes. Bryce National Park has certainly some of the more unusual formations I've seen in any of the parks I've been fortunate to visit. The wind and weather sculpted 'hood-doos' stand guard over the wild landscape. The views were even more dramatic in February with snow covering everything.

With only a couple of days in Bryce to decide where I wanted to photograph - and when - there was a lot of scrambling to find a location for a 360 that would really set off the features in the park. I studied the map, and went to a number of the overlooks before deciding where I wanted to set up in the morning.

After snowshoeing down into the canyon - and then up to the ridge I wanted to be on - I ended up deciding it wasn't exactly the view I wanted. So, I quickly packed up my equipment, and headed over to the ridge that comes away from the 'Cathedral' formation. The sun was already up and highlighting all the features well when I set up on the ridge and photgraphed this 360.
