Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon is located in southwestern Utah in the United States. Despite its name, this is not actually a canyon, but rather a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to its geological structures, called hoodoos, formed from wind, water, and ice erosion of the river and lakebed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views to visitors. Bryce is at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m), whereas the south rim of the Grand Canyon sits at 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level.

SRPA Station Genesis is located in Bryce Canyon, which was the research site of studying the canyon's Chimeran tower (Bryce Canyon Tower). When the Chimeran fleet invaded the United States in May 15, 1953 the Bryce Canyon Tower was activated by a Chimeran force led by Daedalus, becoming one of the initial towers (the other in Chicago) in the country of channeling a beam of energy.
