Escape summer’s swelter in Bryce Canyon’s lofty elevations

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah is enjoyed by about 2 million visitors a year who come to see its 10 deep, hoodoo-filled amphitheaters. Hoodoos are called that because they are tall natural columns that suggest living but unearthly beings. They are formed by an unusual type of erosion involving the freeze-and-thaw cycle that is repeated approximately 200 days every year due to the park’s high elevation.

Fishing Report, June 27

■ LAKE MEAD — With the waters warming, stripers are hanging in the deeper water during the day and moving into the shallows at night to feed. Just after sunset and just before sunrise are peak times to get your line in the water. Various swimbaits, as well as cut baits and gizzard shad, if you can find them, are attracting striped bass. One angler reportedly reeled in a 16-pound catfish near Echo Bay over the weekend. The current lake record is a 19-pound, 15-ounce catfish taken in 1996. With fluctuating water levels, use extra caution and watch for emerging land masses. Conditions can change week to week.
