Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park is open year-round, drawing over two-million visitors yearly from all around the globe. The majority arrive in the summer months, but Bryce Canyon is truly a park of all seasons. Although the numbers passing through Bryce Canyon's gates do not compare to those of nearby Zion, it's still a bustling place due to the size of the park. Bryce Canyon is only 38,385 acres and tucked in that small space is fifty-miles of hiking trails.

The shuttle system in Bryce Canyon is voluntary and only runs during the summer months. A must do in Bryce Canyon is the eighteen-mile long scenic drive. There are many pull-outs and short walks at the view points. Sunrise, Sunset, Rainbow, Farview, Yovimpa and Inspiration point are all easily accessed from the scenic drive. The hiking trails showcase a unique brand of beauty and nature. Unlike Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon is best seen from above the rim looking down into the coral colored hoodoos.
