And one of the most beautiful places I&#8217;ve ever seen. When you stay in, you litterally feel like in a fairytale. A hundreds of high orange skittle-shaped limestone rocky towers create such a unique valley, offering even several-days long trips. As the canyon is located far from big cities, one of the top experience is &#8211; of course &#8211; a stargazing in the park. And here comes my own experience: Heading north from Utah to Wyoming for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petrhoralek.com\/?p=3268\">total solar eclipse<\/a>, I had just one night to stop by but I will never forget the night! Just after the dusk of August 17th, 2017, while getting to the <a href=\"http:\/\/npmaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bryce-canyon-backcountry-trail-map.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sunset point<\/a>, I was such happy the night was getting pretty clear with no clouds, so I first walked this one of the most visited points of the canyon. I stood up, respectfully, above the valley and heard nothing. Just a weak breeze whispered in my ears from the silent canyon. Even in the deep night, I still could see the rocky towers and felt like I really was in a fairytale. It was just me and dozens of milions years old <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bryce_Canyon_National_Park#Geology\" target=\"_blank\">nature creation<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Apart from the stargazing experience, I you can also notice the pretty remarkable Gegenshein on the picture, which was visible by eyes even not high over the horizon.
