Agua Canyon is my next stop at Bryce Canyon National Park. I noticed that the parking here is more plentiful. I hoping that it because the view is excellent. However, it could also be because there is just more space to build a parking lot here compared to previous places. As I make my way down the mountain, there would naturally be more land to go around building parking lots on. Despite the size of the parking lot here, there weren’t that many people here at all. I don’t think it would be because it isn’t worth coming here but it is most probably because there are just less people coming to visit just before winter.

This viewpoint overlooks what is named Agua Canyon. What is most prominent here is the presence of a hoodoo which is named the Hunter. There is a smaller one here which is named the Rabbit. I don’t know why they were named as such since I don’t see the resemblance. The trouble with naming features exposed to the elements is that they can change over time. It might be true that they used to look like a hunter and a rabbit, but it sure doesn’t look like it now. It is also here that I got a better look at a hoodoo. I’m no geologist since all I can see it a sandstone pillar but there are geological processes which happened here to produce that. In the timescale of short lived humans, it almost looks like these features have been like that ever since.
