Rainbow Point Panoramic Canvas Photos
Rainbow Point is located at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah and is approximately 156 miles from Moab and 217 miles from Salt Lake City. Through many years of erosion, colorful Claron limestone has been carved into thousands of spires, fins, arches and mazes called "hoodoos''. Many visitors come here for sight-seeing, hiking, camping, backpacking, photography, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, bird watching and many other activities. Rainbow Point is at the southern end of the park and is a good place to start a tour of the park, offering visitors a clear view of the Pink Cliffs out of which the Hoodoos have been sculpted. The Pink Cliffs are just one step of what is known as the Grand Staircase, which is a sequence of rock layers. The best vantage point to see the Grand Staircase is from Yovimpa Point, and form here and Rainbow Point visitors can get a real feel for the landscape and the beauty of the area. Before you leave the Rainbow Point area make sure you walk to the southern overlook, Yovimpa Point. Here is one of the places you can get a good look at the sequence of rock layers called the Grand Staircase. Spending a few minutes at both Rainbow and Yovimpa Points will provide visitors with a geologic and geographic orientation, helping them better understand the landscape and landforms that surround Bryce Canyon National Park, and thereby better appreciate the unique beauty of this National Park. From Rainbow Point, visitors can look northward and clearly see the Pink Cliffs out of which the Hoodoos have been sculpted.
