I'd book now; people book these places a year ahead. Mid-September is what I'd choose, since the North Rim closes in October. Bryce and the NR will still be comfortable then, and leaves may be changing.

Obviously it can't hurt to book a year in advance since on park properties are popular. But I was able to get cabins at Zion, Bryce, and N Rim and started booking only in June for late Aug/early Sept. this year. If you call back now and again you'll often find your dates now available -- or different accomodations (ie switch from motel to cabin). No big deal.

Hey there, just went to Bryce and North Rim last week. It was nice during the day time, but did get cool at night. Can only expect it to be a lot cooler in October. We stayed at the park hotels both nights and I booked about 3-4 months in advance. I also noticed that it does get a little windy. Both were very beautiful and I can't wait to get back there!! Have fun and good luck!!

Also, we started late and called for a reservation in Bryce on July 7 (for Sept. 8 and 9). It was booked at the lodge. My husband called back 5 or 6 times and ultimately we got a room. Then, we decided to camp and the room was open again. Thus, if you wait, you may still be able to get a room. However, if you know when you're going, I'd book now. YOu can always cancel. It is worth it to stay in the park at Bryce. One of the many high-lights of our trip was rolling out of bed to watch the sunrise. I haven't stayed at Ruby's (which is one of the only other games in town) but I can't imagine a better location than the lodge.
