The Silent City Details

Best viewed from Inspiration Point, but also from Sunset Point and Bryce Point, the hoodoo formation known as the Silent City really does resemble the quiet, skyscraper-lined streets of a ochre-hued stone metropolis. Row upon row of tightly spaced hoodoos and fins march down from the canyon's edge, with ravines too deep to easily access by foot, but you can see the Silent City from the Peek-a-Boo Loop Trail.
