Bryce Canyon National Park Travel Guide

 Basaic Says:  There are a few different hiking trails in the park like the "Rim Trail"; "Under the Rim Trail"; "Bristlecone Loop Trail"; and the "Riggs Spring Loop Trail". There are also trails of varying length to the viewpoints. Some of these trails were inaccessible due to snow when I... 

 Basaic Says:  As the name implies, this viewpoint offers beautiful views of distant mountains, cliffs, and plateaus to include the Kaibab Plateau on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Bryce Canyon is part of a much larger formation called the "Pink Cliffs" which is in turn part of a... 

 Basaic Says:  Here you can see some of the formations visible from Sunset Point: Boat Mesa 2 miles away (left midground Photo 1); Sinking Ship 3 mile away; Aquarius Plateau 15 miles away ( midlle background Photo 1) and Canaan Mountain 23 miles away. 

 Basaic Says:  People who are visiting the park for only a very short amount of time sometimes stop here and just tour the Sunset and Sunrise Viewpoints. Both offer nice views of the Bryce Amphitheater which is the largest naturally occurring amphitheater in the park. I highly recommend,...

 Basaic Says:  Here is the connecting trail that leads from the Agua Canyon Parking Area to the Under the Rim Trail. Good walking shoes, water, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellant, a snack, weather appropriate clothing, don't forget your camera! 

 Basaic Says:  This trail was also inaccessible due to snow when I visited in mid-May. There are backcountry camping sites along this trail. Good walking shoes, water, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellant, a snack, weather appropriate clothing, don't forget your camera! 

 Basaic Says:  The longest, most challenging trail in the park is the Under the Rim Trail which stretches between Bryce Point and Rainbow Point. The trail has switchbacks and is steep in spots. Some parts also have stairs. You can access the trail via several connecting trails if you do... 

 Basaic Says:  The Rim Trail begins at Fairyland Point north of the visitors center and continues to Bryce Point where you can connect to the longer Under the Rim Trail. The Rim Trail connects Fairyland, Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration and Bryce Points. You can access the trail from any of...
