Sunset Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sunset Point, as the name rightly describes, is a fantastic place to watch a sunset in Bryce Canyon National Park. From this vista you are treated to views of the Silent City, Thor's Hammer, and many of the other hoodoos (thin rock spires) which make up the spectacular rock formations in the canyon.

Hoodoos at Bryce Canyon

Highlight • Natural Monument

We reach the spectacular Bryce Canyon. The bizarre rock formations ("hoodoos") are just as characteristic of Bryce Canyon as its forests. The combined forces of wind, water and ice have created a landscape of rock pillars in strange shapes and sizes. These rock formations are also called hoodoos. The hoodoos create a labyrinth of constantly changing shapes and colors from bright orange to pale pink or ochre.
Here we take the opportunity to descend into the canyon. The change of perspective makes us really aware of the size of the individual rock formations. We see several chipmunks that are far too quick for my camera.

Navajo Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Navajo Trail is a short hiking path loop in Bryce National Park that leads down to the Bryce Canyon and then back up through Wall Street. It can be done in about 1 to 2 hours, depending on how many stops you make to enjoy the awe inspiring rock formations and take photos.

The trail is rather steep with quite a bit of altitude to conquer – make sure to bring enough water. If you come in the morning or evening, you might be able to hike in the shade before the sunlight comes down into the canyon.

Rim Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park

Highlight • Trail

The Rim Trail encircles the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater and gives spectacular views into the canyon. The trail is 5.5 miles in length, starting at Fairyland Point in the north and extending to Bryce Point farther south in the park. There are many benches located along the path for a quick stop to enjoy a picnic while taking in some of the greatest views on this planet.

Sunrise Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located just a short walk from the parking area, Sunrise Point offers absolutely stunning views into Bryce Canyon. The area is aptly named for being a fantastic spot to view the sunrise, as the eastern facing cliff faces catch the early morning rays and glow in various shades of reds and oranges. From the viewpoint you will look out on to Boat Mesa and Sinking Ship, both iconic hoodoos in the National Park.

Bryce Amphitheater

Highlight • Canyon

The main attraction in Bryce Canyon National Park, the Amphitheater is a large chasm in the landscape filled with the greatest concentration of hoodoos, or large rock spires, anywhere on the planet. The red sandstone creates beautiful flashes of colour across the rocky terrain, with no two views being the same. As the sun tracks across the sky the shadows can drastically change how the area looks, creating stunning silhouettes and brilliant red light shows on the cliff faces. If you are going to visit only one place in Bryce Canyon, go to the Amphitheater.
