A PLACE TO REMEMBER

Make room for the wonder.

A forest of orange-and-pink hoodoos fills Bryce’s natural amphitheaters. Begin at the rim to take in the shapes, then choose whether your group would enjoy descending among them or lingering at the overlooks.

A red rock landscape and plateau forest glows with the morning sun — Viewpoints of the iconic Bryce Amphitheater are located along the first 3 miles of the park road and are a popular destination at sunrise.

Snow blankets a red rock landscape of tall rock spires beneath an early morning sky — Here at 8,000' (2438 m) winter comes early and stays late. Snow transforms the landscape and requires seasonal closures in some areas and trails.

Choose the stops that suit your time and your party. These are ideas for exploring, rather than a fixed itinerary or a promise that every road, trail or facility will be open.

Before you set out

The elevation and steep trails can surprise visitors. Check weather, footwear and any shuttle arrangements for your date.

Give the day room

Allow time for the approach, parking and breaks. Pick walks for the least mobile members of your party, and leave space for weather or a change of plans.

Bring your group

Confirm vehicle access, drop-off and parking with the park. Check any guided tours, transport and accessibility arrangements before fixing the rest of the itinerary.
