Bryce Canyon spires are called hoodoos and are located in an amphitheatre of these eroded columns of colored limestone nestled up against a cliff-face. This photograph was taken from farther along the plateau. Bryce Canyon is in southwestern Utah, and is named after Ebenezer Bryce, an early rancher who described it as "a helluva place to lose a cow."
