I was said (better, i read ;)) Powell Point (10,188 feet high), a bit outside the Park area (see map) offers outstanding panoramic views of much of southern Utah, though it's a bit difficult to reach. You'll need a high clearance vehicle to get within about 1/2 miles from the peak; a hiking trail there leads through wonderful limber and bristlecone pine to the peak. Without a suitable vehicle, you'll need to hike about 4.3 miles to the top.

It's very frequent, within the Park, to fall in with nice and lively squirrels claiming anything from visitors. This one in the picture was evidently attracted by my hazel-nut snack, so we became friends :))
Oh yes, i know the warning: 'Feeding wild animals is forbidden', but how could I let this poor soul starving?!?

This loop trail is off behind the visitor center. It connects with Birds Eye and Pink ledge trails. . Going up the hill, the loop splits off and comes back around after 3/4 mile.

Short hike along the road

Just outside of Bryce National Park, on the way towards Zion, is the Red Rock National Forest. There are a number of great hikes along the road. Most of the hikes are in the 1 to 2 hour range.

Bryce Canyon National Park

This viewpoint is aptly named as the hoodoos are mere specks in the distance. But Farview Point offers a panoramic view of the canyon and this elevated viewing area provides visibility for miles.

Road through Red Canyon

The photo to the left is not taken directly at Bryce Canyon. It shows Red Canyon just outside the national park. You should pass by that area. It´s nice.

Just stones here? Naaaaaw! Look closely: There´s a little friend sitting there, his camouflage perfect. ('Did you bring biscuits, stranger?')

It is not really off the beaten path but thought to add this photo here. It is from Red Canyon, close to Bryce Canyon.
