Where Should I go: Bryce Canyon National Park or Ottawa?
Bryce Canyon National Park
As one of Utah's most popular national parks, Bryce Canyon National Park is over 35,000 acres of breathtaking geological wonders. While it's not actually a canyon, Bryce Canyon is a giant natural amphitheater created by years of erosion.
With 200 miles of visibility, world-class air quality and near-perfect weather from April until October, it's easy to see why this park attracts over one million visitors every year. The series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters includes rocks of many colors and unique formations such as slot canyons and spires known as "hoodoos."
Ottawa
Ottawa is the capital city of Canada, located on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River. A city of many ethnic populations, Ottawa is uniquely bilingual with English as the first language of the population's majority and French as a close second. It is best known as the nation's capital, which is centered on Parliament Hill, an architectural landmark as well as the seat of government.
