The beauty of a red-rock wonderland

Join a park ranger for a 1.6-kilometer walk along the rim of the Bryce Amphitheater to get an unmatched view while hearing stories about Bryce Canyon National Park and its wealth of Indian and pioneer history. Sunset and sundown are prime times to gaze out from overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Look up to the night sky; the natural darkness allows unparalleled views of the stars. The impressive rock formations are the 14,502-hectare park’s visual stunners, but visitors will find a plethora of plant and animal species living in arid-climate ecosystems, ancient lakes and forests.

There is no place in the USA quite like Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah. The delicately carved multi-hued spires and pink cliffs — formed by wind and rain over millions of years — create the park’s one-of-a-kind landscape. Home to hoodoos (irregular-shaped pillars of rock), stone forests and more, the stunning skyline of this National Park will undoubtedly amaze you.

Experience all the park has to offer with a hike through the peaceful backcountry on the Riggs Spring Loop or Under-the-Rim trails, which weave through forests, meadows and those stunning rock spires. For a burst of adrenaline, explore the park’s lush pine forests or gradient canyon walls by off-road vehicle. Just be sure to save time for a visit to Fairyland Point, which offers arguably the most spectacular and sweeping views of the park.
