Hidden and Underappreciated Nooks in Bryce Canyon

Edit Template

Bryce Canyon is a relatively small national park.  It’s dwarfed by it’s next door neighbor of Escalante National Monument.  Still, there are plenty of great places to explore in Bryce.  I still come away with beautiful landscape photos.  This time, I decided I needed to photograph one of the hidden and underappreciated nooks you’ll find in the park.  Come check out this hidden nook with me.

If you’ve been to Bryce Canyon, no doubt you spent most of your time at the main amphitheater.  I truly understand why.  It’s grand, spectacular, and showy.  However, I’ve started exploring other regions of the park and found some great subject matter out there as well.  Today, I’m taking you to a smaller viewpoint off of the road called Paria View.

This smaller canyon, almost a finger canyon, features a great view of the landscape below.  There’s also the red rock walls which frame the scene.  The day I focused here was cloudy.  This made for perfect lighting conditions.  The light was even and the entire area lay in shadow.  While soft diffuse sunrise or sunset light is more ideal, I’ll take cloudy conditions too.

Thanks to springtime conditions, the foliage was turning green again.  This made for a much more interesting landscape scene than if the plants appeared dead with winter.  I simply needed the right place to stand and frame things in my camera.  So, I traveled the length of the sidewalk to find the perfect spot.  I found a couple places and used them.

There were a few people on the trail but it was mostly empty.  It’s a real shame as this view is gorgeous too.  Still, I do like practically having the place to myself.  It makes for a more pristine feeling.

I keep at the Bryce Canyon landscape photos.  It’s close by and, therefore, convenient.  Perhaps, one day, I’ll cover all the major and minor parts of the park in my portfolio.  This trip was yet another addition in that direction.  Please share your thoughts about this latest addition of Bryce Canyon’s hidden nooks in the comments section below.
