Bryce Canyon National Park Travel Information
Bryce Canyon National Park contains a spectacularly beautiful
series of "amphitheaters" filled with colorful, eroded rock forms. It
cannot be adequately described in words and is only somewhat better
represented with photos. It's a place where you can spend hours at any
number of overlooks staring in wonder. You will undoubtedly find after
a visit that you've taken many more pictures than you had thought in
an attempt to capture its brilliance. A trip through southwest Utah
must include a stop at Bryce Canyon.
Bryce has an easy scenic drive to great lookouts and a number of
hiking trails down into the amphitheaters and among the "hoodoos" --
the name given the eroded rock pinnacles and spires that fill the
park. Horseback trips are also available. In winter, cross-country
skiers can enjoy the park on several ungroomed trails.
Bryce is located off Highway 12, about 14 miles east of Highway 89
in south central Utah. The nearest substantial town is Panguitch,
about 23 miles northwest. View
