BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas | “Excuse me, did you see a lion?” That was a question I hadn’t been asked before.

Bryce Canyon was established as a national monument in 1923 and became Utah National Park in 1924. In 1928 its name was changed to Bryce Canyon National Park. The park comprises nearly 36,000 acres in southwestern Utah. The park draws 1.5 million visitors a year, said ranger Kevin Poe.
