Welcome to Bryce Canyon National Park! As a part of the larger Colorado Plateau, you are no doubt mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of rock layers and formations. In addition to the geologic features, the park’s fundamental resources and values include natural soundscapes, clean air and stellar night skies.

Bryce is one of over 400 units of the national park system. Each unit preserves a unique slice, or story, of this nation’s natural and cultural heritage. During 2016, the National Park Service celebrates its 100th Anniversary. We wish to remain relevant in your lives and invite your families and friends to be the next generation of visitors, supporters and advocates. Thank you for supporting your national parks - we are glad you are here and we commit to facilitating a safe and enjoyable visit.

How many people die at Bryce?

Fortunately, Bryce averages less than 1 fatality per year. In order of decreasing occurrence, fatalities are caused by:• Heart attacks• Falling off cliffs• Lightning• Vehicle accidents

Unfortunately, hundreds of serious injuries have also needlessly occurred, often from ignoring park safety warnings.

Top 10 Causes of Bryce Injuries#10 Unsafe DrivingWinter roads at Bryce Canyon are often snow-packed and icy! Poor visibility is common!• Speeding (posted limits are 15 to 45 mph)• Failure to wear seat belts.• Passing on a double yellow line.• Auto vs. animal, Watch for wildlife• Rear-ending. Never slam on the brakes on icy roads.

Stop in pullouts, never on road.• Not reducing speed on wet or icy roads. Adujust your speed for road

conditions! Black ice is a common surprise!• Please remove ALL snow from your vehicle! This includes all windows

and lights!

#9 Climbing / Sliding Down CliffsThe rocks at Bryce are crumbly cliffs and steep gravely slopes. Climbing the rocks and sliding on the slopes is not only illegal, but also dangerous.

#8 Feeding Animals

Fed animals become aggressive. Even small animals can inflict bites requiring stitches and transmit disease. Watch wildlife from a distance, and discourage animals that approach you.

#7 Ignoring Extreme WeatherAt Bryce it is possible for the difference between the daily high and low to be as much as 50° F / 27° C! Lightning is a year-round danger! If you can hear thunder, lightning is within 10 miles (16 km) and you need to seek shelter in a building or your vehicle immediately. #6 Dehydration Drink 1 quart / liter every 1-2 hours. A well hydrated body is better able to regulate body temperature and is more resistant to heat exhaustion. Sunburns also lead to dehydration. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses to protect from the sun overhead and reflected UV light. Hydration Stations to fill your water bottles are found throughout the park - look for this symbol on the map in this newspaper.

#5 Leaving the Trail Stay on designated trails and away from cliff edges, it can be impossible to keep your footing. Bring the maps on page 4 and 5 to avoid getting lost.

#4 Over-exertion Park elevations reach 9115 ft (2778 m) subjecting you to 70% of the oxygen you might be used to. Bryce’s trails start at the top, and if you hike down, you must hike up! Turn back BEFORE you become tired. Know and respect your own physical limitations.

#3, #2, & #1 Bad Choice of Footwear Wear hiking boots with good ankle support. Sport-sandals are NOT safe hiking footwear. Wearing shoes or boots not designed for hiking is the NUMBER ONE cause of rescues and injuries.

Weather & Climate

Winter hiking has its own unique challenges. Exposure to cold, wet, or windy conditions can lead to hypothermia, a life-threatening condition with a lowered body temperature. Hypothermia symptoms include uncontrollable shivering, disorientation, apathy, slurred speech, loss of coordination, followed by unconsciousness and death.

The best treatment for hypothermia is prevention. Wear warm clothing in layers which can be added or removed, especially when exerting yourself in cold weather. Wear a hat and gloves. Drink lots of water and eat high energy foods.

Most importantly, when you feel cold, it’s time to go inside and warm up! Overnight low temperatures is well below 0 and winter storms can produce more than 2 feet of snow in 24 hours!

“Don’t Get Caught Out In The Cold!”

Due to its high elevation climate, weather at Bryce Canyon through autumn, winter, and spring can be highly variable. Snowstorms in October are not unusual, yet there are also many sunny and pleasant autumn days during the month. From October to May temperatures fall below freezing nearly every night. The park typically experiences its coldest and snowiest periods from December through February. Spring storms in March and April can still produce heavy snowfall that may impact travel in the region. For those reading this paper prior to planning your trip, it is best to plan for any kind of weather.

Tropic Shale Approximately 90 million years ago, dark muds were deposited in a vast interior seaway. Ammonoids, bivalves, and gastropods are common invertebrate faunas, while sharks, turtles, and plesiosaurs represent large vertebrates.

Oyster

Kaiparowits Formation Approximately 75 million years ago, muds and sands were deposited in lakes and meandering river systems and have yielded one of the best records of late Cretaceous terrestrial vertebrates, including ceratopsian, hadrosaur, tyrannosaur dinosaurs.

Dakota Formation Beginning approximately 100 million years ago sands and muds were being deposited in coastal areas as an ancient sea began to encroach across the area. A variety of oysters are common fossils. These are the oldest rocks exposed at Bryce Canyon.

Claron Formation Beginning about 55 million years ago, the lower pink layer was deposited as muds and silts in meandering streams and shallow lake systems. The sediments are highly disturbed by soil-forming processes with plant fossils and animal burrows. The upper white layer represents a limestone deposited in a shallow lake system. Gastropods and bivalves occur but are rare. Uplifting of Utah’s High Plateaus contributed to formation of the Grand Staircase, with Bryce Canyon at the top. World famous for its concentrations of colorful hoodoos, these odd-shaped pinnacles and spires form primarilydue to freezing and thawing cycles within fractures in the rock.

Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations As the seaway shoreline began to fluctuate, sands and muds were deposited in marine, coastal plains, and alluvial plains. Coals formed in coastal swamps. Marine fossils include bivalves and shark teeth, while dinosaurs and early mammals, including the Bryce Mouse, are found in terrestrial units. The Wahweap consists of interbedded mudstone, siltstones, and sandstones deposited in a vast fluvial plain. Petrified wood, vertebrate teeth, and gastropods are common fossils.

Bryce Canyon National Park, in association with the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, is proud to welcome Dr. Larry Davis as the park’s first Geoscientist-in-Residence. Formerly a professor at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University in Minnesota, Dr. Davis is helping to expand our – and, in turn, your – knowledge of Bryce Canyon’s geology, as well at that of the surrounding area.

Where can I cross-country ski or snowshoe?Snow depth at Bryce varies, so it’s important to make back-up plans. With 3-4 feet of snow the entire park is skiable. The only area that is always “Out-of-Bounds” is skiing off the rim. If you want to slalom through hoodoos, you will have to go to Red Canyon. When snow depth is less than 1 foot, the only skiable surfaces are the groomed trails at Bryce Canyon Shared Use Path, Ruby’s Inn, the Shared Use Path and the roads to Fairyland and Paria View.

Snowshoers are allowed to follow the hiking trails below the rim. On the popular trails, where the snow quickly becomes packed and icy, hiking boots with traction devices are often more helpful than snowshoes.Some winter sports equipment rentals may be available in Bryce Canyon City. Traction devices for hiking boots can be purchased at the Visitor Center or in Bryce Canyon City.

Snowboarding, downhill skiing, sledding, etc. are NOT permitted off the rim.

The Hoodoo 7

Bryce Canyon National Park works with our local partners to help create memories that last a l ifetime. For example, if you’ve hiked a trai l or attended a ranger program, then you have benefited from the Dollar Donation Program, a partnership between the park, Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, Ruby’s Inn Resort, Forever Resorts, and vis itors l ike you.

Funds from the Dollar Donation Program help to support Bryce Canyon National Park in many ways, including: vis itor information and exhibit panels, trai l maintenance and restoration, summer ranger programs, special events, wildl ife research, search and rescue equipment, free publications, and more.

H oodoo You ?Love Love

Bryce Canyon National Park is grateful to its generous donors and partners who help improve park programs and services.

Since 1961 the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association has contributed more than $6 million by providing the park with funds that support:

• The Junior Ranger Program• This Hoodoo newspaper and

other publications• The Geology Festival,

Astronomy Festival and other special events and interpretive programs

• A full-time Education Outreach Specialist and the Geo-scientist-in-Park

Since 2008, the Geologic Society of America has funded two Geo scientist-in-Park interns. These interns assist with:

• Research• Present public geology

programs each summer• Provide training for park

staff on the geology of the Colorado Plateau

The Lodge at Bryce Canyon and Ruby’s Inn Resort have implemented a Dollar Donation Program. Hotel guests have the option of donating a dollar to the park each night of their visit. Nearly $500,000 has been contributed to fund:

• Seasonal employees for interpretation and the trail crew

• Projects such as the recent addition of restrooms at Inspiration Point & Mossy Cave.

Thanks! We couldn’t do it without you!
