Things to do in Bryce Canyon National Park
Located in southwestern Utah, Bryce Canyon National Park's spectacular colors and unique rock formations (called hoodoos) stun over 2 million visitors each year. The national park consists of over 35,800 acres and truly is a geological wonder.
Established in 1928, Bryce Canyon is most known for its natural amphitheaters and "hoodoos," which expand over 20 miles throughout the park. The largest and most famous one is the Bryce Amphitheater, spanning 12 miles long and 800 feet deep. With their red, orange, and white colors, these rock formations are guaranteed to astonish its visitors.
Due to its high elevation, the park is also host to unique wildlife and bristlecone pine trees, the oldest trees in world. On a visit, you can expect to see mountain lions, elks, foxes, as well as different endangered species, such as the California condor and the Utah prairie dog.
Visitors can explore the canyon floor or appreciate the view from one of the overlooks and see why Bryce Canyon is one of the United States' most loved and photographed parks. The four main viewing points are Sunset Point, Sunrise Point, Bryce Point and Inspiration Point. On a clear day, you can see over 100 miles into the distance!
The site also offers two campgrounds for visitors who would like a longer experience at this natural marvel. Bryce Canyon Lodge is available during the summer months, and the Sunset Hotel is available to visitors during the winter.
Bryce Canyon National Park is open year round. In April and October, the park opens at 8:00 am and closes at 6:00 pm. The summer months (May - September) the park opens at 8 am and closes at 8 pm, while the park closes at 4:30 pm during the winter months (November - March).
