What type of biome is Bryce Canyon?

In contrast, Bryce Canyon National Park is located at the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau and has a desert biome on one side of the park and a forest biome on the other side. This is possible due to its variations in elevation. Elevation in the park is anywhere from 6,600 feet to 9,100 feet.
