  Bryce Canyon National Park
Connect with us...              Bryce Canyon National Park, open all year, is located near the junction of Scenic Byway 12 and U-63 (see map). Bryce Canyon is a series of large natural amphitheaters with thousands of multi-colored rock pinnacles called "hoodoos". These formations shine brilliantly under sunny skies, but glow most exquisitely under the softer light of the rising or setting sun. Visitors may drive through the 20 mile long park and stop at scenic viewpoints, and hike or take horseback rides along trails into the canyon. Perhaps the best experiences at Bryce Canyon come from descending on trails among the amphitheaters and hoodoos. You'll be astonished by the contrast of the orange formations and the richest blue sky you've ever seen. Be sure to stop at the visitor center and museuma at the entrance of the park. In winter months, allow time to cross country ski or snowshoe!  Visitor Center Hours8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. thru Memorial Day. 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. After Memorial Day thru Labor Day.
