Bryce Canyon is very easy to get around and can easily make a great day trip if time is of the essence.
The loop road that goes around Bryce takes you to 13 stops where you can get out and see some of the outstanding features.
Several of the stops offer trailheads and picnic areas as well.
My favorite trails are the Queens Garden Trail which takes you down to the bottom of the amphitheatre to look at one massive hoodoo with several hoodoos behind it. This is said to look like Queen Victoria staring out over her flower garden.
Activities
Bryce Canyon can be enjoyed all year round. The winter, although cold is wonderful as there are far fewer people exploring the park.
Winter activities include snowshoeing, horseback riding, hiking, ranger-led walks as well as cross-country skiing and snowmobiling which is offered in town.
Summer activities also offer camping, geology talks, full moon hikes and stargazing.
Stars
Bryce Canyon is one of the last known sanctuaries of darkness in America. It is one of the best places to see stars and has one of the largest stargazing and astronomy festivals in the world every summer.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”AStronomy Festival” color=”black” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nps.gov%2Fbrca%2Fplanyourvisit%2Fastrofest.htm||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
