The Bryce Canyon is surrounded partly by the Dixie National Forest and small portion of the Table Cliff Plateau and even the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Nowhere else in the world can someone find a concentration of this rock in the odd shape it is In here at the Bryce Canyon. The Virgin River cuts down through the sandstone forming the deep canyon that is in place. The Colorado River also does this job. These are both landforms. The destructive forces of water created this deep canyon.

Some people became worried by the damage going on by unknown people especially tourists and loggers and how it was affecting the Bryce Canyon. A movement to have the area protected was then started. The National Park Service director Stephen Mather thought that the Bryce Canyon should be made into a state park. He sent his recommendation to President Warren G. Harding, who on June 8, 1923 declared Bryce Canyon a national monument. A road was built the same year on the plateau to provide easy access to the Bryce Canyon. From 1924 to 1925, Bryce Canyon Lodge was built from local timber and stone. Members of the United States Congress started work in 1924 on upgrading Bryce Canyon's protection status from a U.S. National Monument to a National Park in order to establish Utah Bryce canyon as a National Park. The Utah Parks Company transferred ownership of private and state held land in the monument to the federal government starting in The last of the land in the park's borders was sold to the federal government four years later, and on February 25, 1928, the Bryce Canyon National Park was established.

The Bryce Canyon is a national park in Utah in the south west part of the state. It was actually named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce. The Bryce canyon national park became a nation park in Some artifacts several thousand years old have been found south of the park.

Air pollution can sometimes cause haze in the park. This can affect how well and how far visitors can see vistas and landmarks which means they can’t see the full potential of the park.

The Bryce Canyon is surrounded partly by the Dixie National Forest which is full of pine trees and is the same color as the Bryce Canyon. It also has hoodoos. The Dixie National Forest occupies almost two million acres and stretches for about 170 miles across southern Utah. It divides the Great Basin and the Colorado River. The Forest is divided into four geographic areas. The Forest has many climate extremes such as precipitation ranges from 10 inches in the lower elevations to more than 40 inches per year. The Table Cliff Plateau is another plant life area that is inside/around the Bryce canyons. This area is very green with some trees and mostly flat aside from a hill or two. The Table Cliff Plateau offers a different limestone formation soils that provide a habitat for rare plant species that normally cannot be found in southern Utah.

Paunsaugunt Plateau is also surrounding or even considered inside the Bryce canyons. It Is much like the Bryce Canyon in color, it has the same orange color. Also it has some pretty steep sides and even some pine trees below. The Paunsaugunt Plateau offers some of the most beautiful views in Utah being so high up at a height range of 7,000 feet at the lowest to 9,300 feet at the highest.

Bryce Canyon is full of special landforms and features but hoodoos are very commonly found. Hoodoos are the large pillars of rock standing throughout Bryce Canyon national park. This makes hoodoos very important making it a key landform and feature in the park found in most areas of this national monument.

Limestone, siltstone, dolomite and mudstone make up the four different rock types in Bryce Canyon, more specifically in the rock formations called hoodoos.

The shape of the hoodoos is caused by how fast each rock type erodes. Limestone, siltstone and dolomite are very hard and form the protective caprock on most of the spires of the hoodoos. These harder rocks are eroded mostly by frost. The softest rock in the hoodoo is the mudstone. It forms the narrowest part of the pinnacles. As mudstone gets wet, it erodes easily and runs down the sides of the rock forming mud stucco. Every time it rains the layer of mud stucco is renewed.

They have an app to promote their National Park and to take care of it. Also it tells about the wildlife and environment they have at the Bryce Canyon. This means an app is one of the technologies.

Preservation is about deciding what's important, how to protect it, and teaching appreciation for what was saved to the next generation. Archeologists, architects, curators, historians, landscape architects, and other cultural resource professionals work in America’s national parks to preserve, protect, and share the history of this land.

Park alerts through social media can help promote the park and keep people interested and informed to make sure the park stays maintained. For example, if there is a new park rule that no glass bottles are aloud at the park to keep the grounds clean and safe they can let people know through these alerts. Park alerts Social Media

Formational Process: This park was formed by two weathering processes that constantly work together in eroding the edges of the Bryce canyon. The major weathering force at Bryce Canyon is frost wedging. At the Bryce canyon we experience over 200 freeze cycles each year. In the winter melting snow in the form of water seeps into the cracks and freezes at night. When water freezes it expands by almost 10 percent, bit by bit prying open cracks, making them ever wider in the same way a pothole forms in a paved road. Forming hoodoos

One thing that is currently changing is more hoodoos. As there are more erosions hoodoos are constantly made.
