Description
When hiking through the hoodoo trails of Bryce Canyon it would be easy to experience a spiritual awakening especially if you could walk these paths without the constant companionship of others who are there for the same reason you are which is to admire in awe the creation by natural forces of a landscape that is at times mystical. The Paiute Indians did not believe their creation to be natural in fact they believed a God named Coyote tricked some creatures he was displeased with known as "The Legend People" into attending a banquet where they could eat and drink their fill all day. This being a desert and water and food scarce they eagerly accepted. It should be noted that their wasteful use of these resources is what got them into trouble in the first place. So as the story goes Coyote turned them into stone before they could enjoy the feast.
