Bryce was recommended to me (and many hundreds of thousand others) by Alastair Cook on an edition of ‘Letter from America’. By lucky coincidence I was planning my first visit to the States at just that time. He said forget the Grand Canyon, go to Bryce and Zion instead. I was glad I heard the broadcast.
I never saw a picture of Bryce before I went there and had no idea what to expect. Arriving at the Park I pulled up in the first car park and walked through a narrow stip of forest and came out in Fairyland. What a magical place! The late afternoon sunshine made the spires, pinnacles and towers glow with a golden orange. The shapes and stacks of layer upon layer of rocks and boulders just inspired awe and wonder at the natural beauty of the place.
Number 1 on my list of places that I must see again.
