In 1959,LIFE sent staff photographer Eliot Elisofon out west to document the beauty of the landscape and the National Parks. The result was a photo essay published in brilliant color in the June 8, 1959 issue - THE GLORIES OF THE MOUNTAIN WEST: A ‘LIFE’ Trip to Rockies Region. This specific image is an outtake and never ran - from Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. #BryceCanyon #Utah #NationalParks
