Bryce Canyon National Park Overview

Bryce Canyon National Park features the largest collection of hoodoos in the world.  It’s not a single canyon though, but a series of natural amphitheaters carved into the edge of a plateau. The elevation of the plateau ranges from 8,000 to 9,000 feet.

There are approximately 60 miles of trails to explore throughout the park. There’s also a scenic drive that traverses the entire length of the main park road (18 miles).  Along the way you can stop at a number of spectaclar view points including Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, Sunrise Point and others.

Outdoor recreation includes hiking, biking, backcountry hiking/camping, horseback riding, stargazing, photography, picnicking and viewing nature.  There are also ranger programs, astronomy programs, a geology festival each July. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are also popular during the winter.

In addition to the campgrounds, facilities include the historic Bryce Canyon Lodge, visitor center, shuttle bus service, restaurants, gift shots, picnic areas, a laundry, showers and public WiFi.
