Bryce Canyon 'stirs Ogdenites' in 1920




THE Ogden Standard-Examiner of July 14, 1920 published the account of an Ogden family visiting South Utah and the majesty of Bruce Canyon was at the top of their list.
According to the Standard-Examiner, the Joseph Chez family agreed with a fellow tourist they met that Bryce was as spectacular as the famed Alps in Switzerland. They described Bryce "as an awe inspiring spectacle."
The only drawback to Bryce at the time, was that it could pretty much only be viewed from the rim above, as the only trail downward was very sketchy.
There was "a steep and somewhat uncertain trail into its depths," the Chez family reported to the Standard.
