Ebenezer Bryce Cabin

Bryce Canyon is named for a man who found it more nuisance than wonder. Ebenezer Bryce, a Scottish-born carpenter and Latter-day Saint pioneer, settled below the great amphitheater of pink rock in the 1870s and ran cattle in the maze of spires and gullies. The line that stuck to him — that it was "a hell of a place to lose a cow" — says everything about how a working settler saw country we now drive hours to admire. This cabin near Tropic remembers him. Bryce himself soon moved on to Arizona.
