- Bryce Canyon City - This is the primary route leading into Bryce Canyon National Park, offering a wealth of activities!
- Ruby’s Inn - Ruby’s features multiple properties, a general store, three dining options, and an “old town” mini-mall with gift shops, an ice cream parlor, and a functioning gem mine! They provide various unique ways to explore the park, including horseback riding tours, guided ATV tours, bike rentals, and even helicopter rides.
- Bryce Canyon National Park - Make stops throughout the park at both the Bryce Amphitheater and Bryce Canyon Scenic Drive.
- Fairyland Point - Here, visitors can get their first glimpse of the renowned hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. Learn about their formation, naming, and their significant role in the national park system’s conservation efforts.
- Bryce Canyon Visitor Center - After passing through the entrance, be sure to visit the Bryce Canyon Visitor’s Center. Explore the small museum to learn more about Bryce’s geology and cultural heritage. Don’t miss the award-winning 20-minute film “Shadows Through Time” and the extensive gift shop! Before leaving, check in with the friendly park ranger staff about the numerous educational talks and tours offered daily.
- Bryce Canyon Scenic Drive - This is a highly popular way to experience all that Bryce Canyon has to offer. The scenic drive extends 18 miles to Rainbow and Yovimpa Points, the southernmost and highest points of Bryce Canyon. Along the way, hear stories of the people who discovered Bryce Canyon and advocated for its designation as a National Park. On the return journey, stop at the other 7 viewpoints: Black Birch Canyon, Ponderosa Point, Agua Canyon Viewpoint, Natural Bridge Viewpoint, Farview Point, Piracy Point, and Swamp Canyon. From these viewpoints, see not only hoodoos but also other unique rock formations in vibrant colors, as well as the flora and fauna that comprise the rest of Bryce Canyon. The Scenic Drive is a nature enthusiast’s dream!
- Rainbow Point - Rainbow Point is the highest point in the park at 9,100 feet above sea level. From here, most of Bryce Canyon is visible, and on a clear day, the Grand Canyon, over 300 miles away, might be seen!
- Yovimpa Point - After enjoying the stunning views from Rainbow Point, take a short, paved walk to Yovimpa Point to see even more layers of the Grand Staircase.
- Bristlecone Loop - The Bristlecone Loop Trail is one mile long and takes visitors through a forest of Bristlecone Pine trees, some of the oldest trees in the world.
- Black Birch Canyon - Visit Black Birch Canyon Viewpoint to admire the spectacular Ponderosa Pine trees and the distant Navajo Mountains.
- Ponderosa Canyon - Another excellent viewpoint of Bryce Canyon’s forest areas and the large, majestic Ponderosa Pine trees.
- Agua Canyon - From here, enjoy a great view of some of Bryce Canyon’s more famous hoodoos. Look out for the Backpacker and the Rabbit, and see what other shapes you can imagine! This is also a fantastic spot for photographing Thor’s Hammer, the most famous hoodoo.
- Farview Point - At Farview Point, the air quality is so pristine that Arizona is visible! Look out for the colorful rock formations and breathtaking views of the distant Navajo Mountain.
- Piracy Point - Take an enchanting walk along the path to Piracy Point, unofficially known as the Hansel and Gretel trail. Wander through sun-dappled Ponderosa and Bristlecone Pines, and watch for squirrels and songbirds! At Piracy Point, look into the distance to spot the cliff formation resembling Blackbeard’s ship!
- Swamp Canyon - Visit Swamp Canyon to see one of the park’s few viewpoints with a natural water source. As a result, the vegetation is lush and green around the hoodoo formations here. Experienced hikers might want to try the Swamp Canyon Loop Trail, a 4.5-mile hike descending into Swamp Canyon and connecting to the Under-the-Rim Trail before looping back. If not prepared for such a strenuous hike, stay at the top of Swamp Canyon and watch for California Condors overhead.
- Bryce Amphitheatre - The most-visited part of the park is the Bryce Amphitheater. It consists of 5 viewpoints: Sunrise, Sunset, Bryce, Inspiration Points, and Paria View. The largest concentration of hoodoos is found here, along with some of the most popular canyon hikes. Photography enthusiasts, star-gazers, and hikers of all skill levels love everything the Bryce Amphitheater offers!
- Bryce Point - The first two points that form the famous Bryce Amphitheater. Bryce Point was Ebenezer Bryce’s favorite spot, and it might become yours too. Here, see a vast maze of hoodoos. For advanced hikers, Bryce Point is the trailhead for the Peek-a-Boo Loop trail, a 5.5-mile loop trail leading down to the canyon floor, past the Wall of Windows, and around the Three Wise Men hoodoos.
- Paria View - Paria View is an excellent place to watch for Peregrine Falcons! Look for large birds that appear to be wearing gray pajama pants. For active cross-country skiers, Paria View is home to the challenging Paria Loop, popular with winter sports enthusiasts and open only during snowfall (usually December-February).
- Inspiration Point - Often called “The Silent City,” Inspiration Point features rows of hoodoos resembling people frozen in time. It has three smaller viewpoints: the lower, mid, and high points. A moderate but rocky incline leads to the highest point, but beautiful views are available from any point. Spend about half an hour hiking the easy-to-moderate Rim Trail to Sunset Point.
- Sunset Point - Some of the most iconic and photographed views are at Sunset Point. Look out into the canyon for another glimpse of the famous Thor’s Hammer and the rich reds and pinks of the iron oxide that gives the hoodoos their vibrant color. Sunset Point is the main trailhead for one of Bryce Canyon’s most popular hikes—the Navajo Loop Trail. This quick 1.4-mile trail is easy-to-moderate with a few slight elevation changes, following switchbacks down the canyon and into the hoodoos.
- Mossy Cave Trail - The final official stop on the tour, this is one of Bryce Canyon’s most peaceful hikes, though technically outside the park gates. Mossy Cave Trail offers the chance to walk on the canyon floor without a steep descent. This quick 1-mile, round-trip walk ends at Mossy Cave, a grotto featuring a waterfall!
