Star trails and a bristlecone pine at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Clear skies above Bryce Canyon National Park mean incredible stargazing opportunities. And this starry photo gives us a chance to remind our fans that April 15 to 23 is National Park Week in the United States. We often highlight on our homepage the stunning natural beauty found in our nation’s national parks—from forests to glaciers to inviting tropical waters and many other natural treasures as well. In the case of Bryce Canyon, visitors can explore an unusual desert habitat where bristlecone pines, like the one in the foreground here, may live for hundreds and even thousands of years in an ecosystem that seems, at a glance, harsh and unforgiving.
