Bryce Canyon National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce Canyon National Park is much smaller, and sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m). This HSPG has been prepared in compliance with NPS28 which requires that such a document be prepared when a historic structure has received its ultimate treatment. The guide identifies continuous and systematic maintenance procedures, and provides information pertaining to the present condition of the structure. It also provides maintenance personnel with an information base to use as a reference guide to facilitate planning, programming, budgeting, and performing preventive, cyclic, and routine maintenance of the Bryce Canyon Lodge at BRCA. In addition, it provides a means for evaluating maintenance activities, for ascertaining their strengths and weaknesses, and for adopting appropriate corrective measures. It is the official document guiding all preservation maintenance activities.
