About this postcard
The Cathedral is one of the named rock formations in Bryce Canyon, a cluster of tall, thin hoodoo spires eroded from the Claron Formation and banded in pink, orange, and pale gray. Small evergreens scatter the sandy slope at its base. Bryce was set aside as a national monument in 1923 and became a national park in 1928. By the mid 1930s the Union Pacific's Utah Parks Company was running lodge-based tours through the southern Utah circuit of Zion, Bryce, Cedar Breaks, and the Grand Canyon, the same parks named on this card.
