A geologic and geographic sketch of Bryce Canyon National Park Part II
Gregory HE. 1940. A geologic and geographic sketch of Bryce Canyon National Park Part II. Zion-Bryce Museum Bulletin. 4
As a geographic unit, Bryce Canyon National Park is a choice portion of the plateau lands of the Colorado drainage basin, 50,000 square miles of rock tables, cliffs, and canyons that seem to have an unlimited range in color, form, and size. Few if any, places in the world afford better opportunity to realize the power and persistence of the forces that have shaped the surface of the earth, for though displayed on an enormous scale, the rock units show a certain simplicity of mass composition, form, and arrangement that makes their relations clear.
