Paiute Amerindian legends say that after creating the Legend People - the first people who saw the Sunlight under the guidance of the Great Spirit - an evil spirit, that of coyotes, it fooled a majority of them and has to be turned into stone forever. Anka-ku-was-a-Wits, meaning "people with faces painted in red", human ancestors, pointing to the bizarre limestone formations, guard today that Mormon settlers in Utah and Bryce Canyon rocks called amazing cliffs ... perhaps the most bizarre and also the most beautiful canyon on the planet.

At its gates Mysterious Anasazi lived, millennia-old pre-Columbian culture whose traces have been found in North America, as well as members of Fremont culture, whose culture had reached its peak since the XII century. They have followed the Paiute Indians, who gave birth to some of the most beautiful legends of the world, and the first people to successfully cultivated semi-arid lands of the canyon. Then European settlers, morphed into believing Mormon, put an end to the Native American tribe from the canyon, bringing cattle and send the natives on reserves where they had only in memory the Heaven where they lived , it could alleviate the sad existence.

Stories about the first white set in the canyon was a Scottish farmer, Ebenezer Bryce, followed by his wife Mary. After him, hundreds of Mormon immigrants flocked to the place which they named in his memory, Bryce Canyon - Bryce's Canyon. It was perhaps unimaginable beauty of the canyon in Utah that made the Americans, since 1916, to require stopping the damage done by farmers, wood cutters and hunters Mormons. Seven years later, on June 8, 1923, Bryce Canyon was named a national monument still in existence.

Words are too poor to describe the perfection of nature attained by Bryce Canyon. Positioned in the form of an amphitheater, canyon crossed by thousands of rocks, trees and natural springs, is today considered a natural wonder of the world.
