Bryce Canyon National Park - Bryce Canyon National Park

Japanese: ブライス･キャニオン国立公園 - ブライスキャニオンこくりつこうえん（英語表記）Bryce Canyon National Park

A national park in southern Utah, USA. It became a national monument in 1923 and was established in 1928. Its area is 145 km2. It is named after early settler E. Bryce. The eastern end of the Paunsaugunt Plateau developed into a series of basin-like topography through wind and water erosion. The cliffs, made of horizontal layers of sandstone and limestone, boast a variety of shapes and beautiful colors. The views from the road that runs along the edge of the plateau are wonderful. The highlands are covered with forests and grasslands. [Yagasaki Noritaka]

アメリカ合衆国ユタ州南部の国立公園。1923年国定記念物となり，28年制定。面積145km2。名称は初期の入植者E.ブライスにちなむ。ポーンソーガント台地の東端部が，風や水の浸食を受けて，一連の盆地状地形に発達したもの。砂岩と石灰岩の水平層がつくる絶壁は，多様な形態と美しい色彩を誇る。台地の縁辺部に沿って走る自動車道からの眺望はすばらしい。高地地帯は，森林や草原でおおわれる。【矢ヶ崎典隆】
