Named for an early settler who described it as “a helluva place to lose a cow,” Bryce Canyon, Utah is an amazing geological spectacle of colorful rock formations of all shapes and sizes spread across several horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters. Visitors’ first view of Bryce Canyon National Park is dramatic, as stands of evergreen trees veil the splendor of the canyon until they reach the rim, where brilliant hues seem to glow off its “hoodoos,” especially with the rising and setting sun. Besides walking along the rim, many visitors experience Bryce Canyon, Utah’s amphitheaters from viewpoints along its 37-mile (round-trip) scenic drive.
Others choose to descend below the rim on one of the park’s many trails. Bryce Canyon, Utah boasts eight hiking trails that take less than a day, including the Bristlecone Loop Trail, the Queen’s Garden Trail, the Navajo Trail, the Fairyland Loop Trail, and the Peek-a-boo Loop Trail. Some of the park’s trails intersect, allowing hikers to combine routes. Another way visitors view the Bryce Canyon, Utah area is through tours provided by local outfitters, including horseback rides, ATV excursions, scenic flights and narrated bus tours.
