Welcome to Bryce Canyon, home to the largest collection of hoodoos (irregularly-eroded rock spires) in the world! Situated along the east edge of a
plateau, the park has one main 18-mile north-to-south road and only one entrance/exit. As you enter the park, all viewpoints and hikes are on the left.
BRYCE AMPHITHEATER (First three miles of the park)
The most iconic and popular views of Bryce Canyon are found
along the rim of the Bryce Amphitheater: Bryce, Inspiration,
Sunset, and Sunrise Points. Try to see this area as early in the
day as possible. Enjoy a flat, paved walk between Sunset and
Sunrise Points (0.5 mi each way) or a more challenging hike
below the rim. Most visitors like to begin with the wonderful diversity found along the
2.9-mile Queen’s/Navajo Combination Loop (Hiking Guide on reverse page).
SCENIC DRIVE (Entire length of main park road)
Drive the main road 18 miles (35 min) until it ends at the park’s
highest elevations at Rainbow and Yovimpa Points. Consider
the 1-mile Bristlecone Loop to stretch your legs. Stop at
viewpoints like Natural Bridge and Agua Canyon on your return
trip north. Often enjoyed later in the day, or during busy times.
Ranger Programs and Activities
RANGER PROGRAMS
Ranger talks and walks are provided every day. Join us for an exploration of
how hoodoos happen at a Geology Talk, or explore the many sides of Bryce
along a guided ranger walk. All ranger programs are free, and require no reservations.
