• Bryce Canyon Visitor Center - Begin an exciting journey through Bryce Canyon National Park right before reaching the Visitor Center. As the drive starts, discover the origin of the canyon’s name and learn about the original Paiute people who inhabited this land.
• Bryce Canyon National Park - Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon was designated a National Park in 1924. It is renowned for its distinctive geology, featuring a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah.

NOTE: The tour spans over 20 miles per tour, with more than 50 audio stories per tour, and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.

• Fairyland Point - The first detour is at the stunning Fairyland Point. This overlook provides a wonderful preview of Bryce Canyon’s offerings: expansive vistas, steep cliffs, and the iconic hoodoos!

• Sunrise Point - The next stop is one of the park’s most renowned locations: Sunrise Point. From this viewpoint, admire the unique, picturesque rock formations and numerous natural trails leading into the vast, alien landscape.

• Bryce Amphitheater - The self-guided driving tour continues around the famous Bryce Amphitheater! The canyon forms a giant semicircle and descends far below.

• Sunset Point - The drive leads to another remarkable vista point overlooking the Bryce Amphitheater: Sunset Point. Here, learn about the science behind the formations and understand what makes a hoodoo. Explore the impact of geology and erosion over time to comprehend how this incredible landscape was formed.

• Inspiration Point - The tour continues deeper into Bryce Canyon, heading towards Inspiration Point. Along the way, learn about the Paiute people and their mythologies, which offer their own explanations for the landscape’s uniqueness and the origins of Bryce’s famous hoodoos.

• Bryce Point - Arrive at Bryce Point, offering one of the most scenic views of the full amphitheater. Bryce Point is also known for its extraordinary sunrises. Witness the tops of hoodoos illuminated by the first rays of the rising sun, as the orange light spreads, driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. Learn about the Mormon settlers who followed the Paiute and tried to make a living in this challenging climate.

• Paria View - The tour continues to Paria View, where the effects of a centuries-old glacier are visible. As the earth warmed around 12,000 years ago, the last ice age ended. The melting glaciers released water that flowed down the canyon.

• Swamp Canyon Overlook - The drive leads to the lesser-trafficked part of the park, Swamp Canyon Overlook. Learn about a famous local: Butch Cassidy! Discover the stories of Butch, Sundance, and the difference between fact and fiction as the self-guided tour continues.

• Farview Point - The next stop is Farview Point. The elevation here allows for incredible views, and the area offers something increasingly rare today: clean air! This is aided by the abundance of bristlecone pines, the Earth’s oldest trees.

• Natural Bridge - The tour passes by Natural Bridge, featuring unusual arches and formations, adding to the amazement of the amphitheater’s hoodoos!

• Bryce Canyon Road - At Agua Canyon, two prominent hoodoos stand out. On the left is “The Hunter,” the taller of the two towers, and on the right is the “Rabbit.” Neither resembles a hunter or rabbit! Learn about the rabbits, deer, and other wildlife of Bryce, and understand their survival strategies for the hot summers and freezing winters.

• Ponderosa Canyon - Arrive at Ponderosa Point, offering views of the park’s iconic junipers stretching into the distance. The drive now enters the deepest parts of Bryce Canyon National Park.

• Black Birch Canyon - The self-guided drive continues towards Black Birch Canyon Overlook. Learn about the night sky and opportunities for amateur astronomy. The stargazing at Bryce is unmatched.

• Rainbow Point - Finally, reach the farthest overlooks inside Bryce Canyon: Rainbow and Yovimpa. From here, see nearly everything in Bryce Canyon – the quintessential hoodoos, the verdant basin, the sheer cliffs. Stand on the top step of the massive “Grand Staircase,” a geologic structure descending to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

• Red Canyon - Ahead is the Red Canyon Arches and its twin further down the road. These arches resemble natural formations but were actually created by workers tunneling through solid rock in 1914 to make way for the road. They have since become a gateway to the beautiful expanse of Bryce Canyon.

• Zion National Park - Zion National Park is a nature preserve in southwest Utah, distinguished by Zion Canyon’s steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through its main section, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. The river flows to the Emerald Pools, featuring waterfalls and a hanging garden. Also along the river is the Zion Narrows wading hike, partly through deep chasms.

• Springdale Visitor Center - Welcome to Zion National Park! This raw landscape offers staggering mountain peaks, stunning natural pools, and gorgeous vistas. Explore it all today.

• Zion Canyon Visitor Center - Continue straight. Just before the bridge, a path on the left marks the start of the Pa’rus Trail. Just after the bridge is another path – the Watchman Trail. Both are popular hikes with great views at the end.

• Zion Human History Museum - While little is known about the Ice Age hunters, newer residents left their stories. Around 300 BCE, people began settling here and farming. They grew squash and corn, gradually learning to cultivate the land and survive the harsh climate. The Fremont group developed a drought- and cold-resistant corn species that thrived at high altitudes.

• Canyon Junction Bridge - Approaching Canyon Junction Bridge, there’s much to see:

First, it’s a great sunset spot. Be sure to return later.

Second, enjoy views of the Watchman and other mountains. If parking is available, take it and listen to the Learn More stories about the peaks.

Third, the road splits here:

Turn left to drive along the Scenic Road and visit the Narrows, Angel’s Landing, or the Emerald Pools.

• Zion Canyon Scenic Drive - What a view! The three mountains are the iconic Court of the Patriarchs. Who are these patriarchs?

A local Christian minister named them after three biblical figures: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from left to right.

• Zion National Park Lodge - The park service strives to keep this place natural and untouched while managing over 4 million visitors annually. In the early 1900s, the area was unknown, leading to no revenue and subsequent development.
• Emerald Pools - First, bring plenty of water! Utah’s heat is unforgiving, and heat-stroke or sun-stroke can easily ruin a vacation.

Second, avoid overexertion! Hiking here is more challenging due to the elevation. Ensure you embark on journeys you can complete.

• Angel’s Landing - This park offers many great trails, but Angel’s Landing is in a league of its own. Those who complete the hike describe it as a breathtaking experience, offering impossible views and a major adrenaline rush.
• The Grotto Picnic Area - This spot offers picnic tables, restrooms, and fire grates. The surrounding trails are the main attraction!
• Weeping Rock Trail - A continuous stream of water trickles down its face from a stream far above.
• Big Bend Viewpoint - As the drive rounds the Big Bend of the Virgin River, approach the last viewpoint. Stop for magnificent views of the Great White Throne and the towering peak of Angel’s Landing.
• Temple of Sinawava - To see the Narrows, follow the paved Riverwalk to the end. It’s a flat, easy walk, full of beautiful greenery and towering natural skyscrapers. Before setting off, learn about the Temple of Sinawava.
• The East Temple - The towering summit ahead is the East Temple, standing at 1,700 feet. Notice how the cliff isn’t all one color? This is because the cliffs are made of rock from different eras in the earth’s history.
• Zion scenic drive viewpoint 2 - At the next hairpin turn, a pull-off offers incredible views. While stopped, click on Learn More to hear why the Mormons called this place Zion.
• The Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel - Turn on headlights – the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel is just ahead! Inside, resist the urge to stop for photos, as stopping is strictly prohibited.
• Canyon Overlook Trail - The Canyon Overlook Trail is one of East Zion’s finest – short and easy, yet offering spectacular views from the top.
• Altar of Sacrifice - Look closely at the Altar of Sacrifice to see streaks of rusty red running down the sides. Early Mormon pioneers thought it resembled blood spilling from a sacrificial altar, but there’s a less gruesome explanation.
• Checkerboard Mesa - Notice the mesa rising into the sky. As you get closer, a strange grid of criss-crossed lines becomes visible, resembling a checkerboard, hence the name Checkerboard Mesa!
• East Entrance Ranger Station - Arriving at the East Ranger Station marks the end of the tour. Enjoy learning about the formation of this majestic place and the people who lived here over the millennia. If planning to visit other parks in the southwest, such as Bryce, Arches, or Monument Valley, check out other tours.
