This was the fourth time I visited Bryce Canyon. The trails up to the viewpoints were covered in snow, so I was hoping to see a lot of snow in the amphitheater. So it was slightly disappointing to see it like this when I arrived just after sunrise. Nonetheless, I like the view of the red rocks with the white specks between them.

Another shot from our bitter cold sunrise at Bryce Canyon national park. We were there during a snowstorm and most of the park was closed. This was taken at sunset point during sunset, or at least whatever passed for sunset that day. All we remember was a lot of gray and white along with brilliant red rocks. But it was truly an amazing sight to see much snow with the reds peeking out. Add to that I almost had the Sunset point all to myself which is truly a rarity.

Bryce Canyon National Park is truly an otherworldly location, especially when you have it all to yourself. This past December we got the opportunity to visit the stunning park and as luck would have it, a large snowstorm hit the exact same time we were there. We literally reached the park with the storm and found the usually busy park empty except for some Asian tourists. Our first day at the park was pretty much shot due to the storm and the officials shut down most of the park drive.
But as the sunset time arrived, the sky cleared up a bit and the storm started retreating leaving some interesting clouds to add to sunset drama. So we waded through knee-deep snow to the stunning sunset point, which truly lived up to its name. Once we were at the sunset point viewpoint, I realized how overwhelming the spot actually is, when you take into account the number of photo opportunities. I decided to create a panorama shot as the sunset light started to color the sky just so that I could convey the vastness of this beautiful spot.
No photograph can do justice to Bryce Canyon. At the same time, no photograph will turn out to be bad no matter what direction you face or what shot...
