- 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. The erosive forces have sculpted the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into unique shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires known as hoodoos.
- Fairyland Point - The first detour is at the stunning Fairyland Point. This overlook provides a wonderful preview of everything Bryce Canyon offers: 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, observe unique, picturesque rock formations and numerous natural trails leading into the vast, alien landscape.
- Bryce Amphitheater - The self-guided driving tour continues around the renowned 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 an immense time scale to comprehend how this incredible landscape came to be.
- Inspiration Point - The self-guided tour delves 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 entire amphitheater. Bryce Point is also celebrated for its extraordinary sunrises. Witness the tops of hoodoos illuminated by the first rays of the rising sun, as the orange light spreads like fire, driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. Learn about the Mormon settlers who followed the Paiute and attempted to make a living in this harsh climate.
- Paria View - The self-guided tour continues to Paria View, showcasing the effects of a centuries-old glacier. As the earth warmed around 12,000 years ago, the last ice age ended. The melting glaciers that once covered the American continent released vast amounts of water, which flowed down the canyon.
- Swamp Canyon Overlook - The drive ventures into the less-traveled part of the park. At Swamp Canyon Overlook, learn about a famous local: Butch Cassidy! Discover all about Butch, Sundance, and the distinction between fact and fiction as the self-guided tour continues.
- Farview Point - The next stop is at Farview Point. It’s not just the elevation that provides such incredible views here – the area also offers something increasingly rare in today’s world. Can you guess what it is? Clean air! This is aided by the abundance of bristlecone pines, the Earth’s oldest trees.
- Natural Bridge - The self-guided tour passes by Natural Bridge next, featuring unusual arches and formations – in case the hoodoos of the amphitheater weren’t already awe-inspiring!
- Agua Canyon - At Agua Canyon, two prominent hoodoos capture attention. On the left is the taller tower, “The Hunter.” To the right, “The Rabbit.” Neither resembles a hunter or rabbit! Learn about rabbits, deer, and other wildlife of Bryce, and understand the strategies they use to survive the scorching summers and freezing winters.
- Ponderosa Canyon - Arrive at Ponderosa Point, where the park’s iconic junipers stretch 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. Along the way, 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 lush basin, the steep cliffs. You can even see that you’re on the top step of the massive “Grand Staircase” – a geologic structure “stepping down” all the way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
- Red Canyon - The arch ahead and its twin further down the road are the Red Canyon Arches. They might resemble natural arches, but they’re actually man-made. Workers tunneled through solid rock here in 1914 to create space for the road. Since then, these have become a gateway to the stunning expanse of Bryce Canyon.
