Over 2 million people visit Bryce Canyon each year to view the red rocks, pink cliffs, and endless vistas.  It is not just a single canyon, but a series of natural amphitheaters or bowls, carved into the edge of a high plateau. Bryce Amphitheater is the most famous.  It is filled with hoodoos.  There are four main viewpoints, all found within the first few miles of the park: Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, and Sunrise Point. Between April and October, a shuttle service is operated in this area of the park to reduce congestion.

 

It is an 18-mile road that travels from the park's only entrance in the north along the plateau rim to its highest elevations in the south (over 9,000 ft. Hiking trails explore the forests of the plateau, connect between viewpoints along the rim of the Bryce Amphitheater, and wander through the hoodoos below.

There are many ways to add to your experience here.  Take part in ranger program, whether a geology talk, rim walk, evening program, astronomy program, full moon hike , or the Jr.  Concessioner-provided horseback rides are another way to experience Bryce Canyon during the summer season. There are activities for everyone!

Bryce Canyon offers two campground sites (one in winter) and lodging is available at the Bryce Canyon Lodge during the summer season. During winter, hotel rooms are available in the park at the Sunset Hotel.
 

Hoodoos (irregular columns of rock) exist on every continent, but here is the largest concentration found anywhere on Earth. Situated along a high plateau at the top of the Grand Staircase, the park's high elevations include numerous life communities, fantastic dark skies, and geological wonders that defy description.
