布莱斯峡谷冬季连帽衫(Bryce Canyon hoodoos in winter)

当太阳在布莱斯峡谷升起时，白雪皑皑的红橙色岩层开始发光。这些细长、高耸的岩石被称为“草帽”，布莱斯峡谷国家公园因其拥有地球上最高浓度的草帽而闻名。这里的连帽帽有一个柔软的沉积岩基底，顶部有一层更坚固的石头。犹他州冬天的雪和霜冻最终会侵蚀帽的支撑，导致帽掉落，使剩余的岩石更容易被侵蚀。值得庆幸的是，这些队形现在屹立不倒，在公园庆祝成立100周年之际，我们可以欣赏到它们的自然威严。

As the sun rises on Bryce Canyon, its snowcapped red-orange rock formations start to glow. These slender, towering rocks are called hoodoos, and Bryce Canyon National Park is remarkable for having the highest concentration of hoodoos anywhere on Earth. The hoodos here have a soft base of sedimentary rock with a cap of more solid stone on top. The snow and frost of the Utah winter will eventually erode the support of the cap, causing it to fall and expose the remaining rock to easier erosion. Thankfully these formations are standing now, allowing us to take in their natural majesty as the park celebrates its 100th anniversary.
