Top Reasons to Go

Hoodoo heaven: The boldly colored, gravity-defying limestone tentacles reaching skyward—called hoodoos—are Bryce Canyon's most recognizable attraction.
Famous fresh air: With some of the clearest skies in the nation, the park offers views that, on a clear day, can extend more than 100 miles and into three states.
Spectacular sunrises and sunsets: The deep orange and crimson hues of the park's hoodoos are intensified by the light of the sun at either end of the day.
Dramatically different zones: From the highest point of the rim to the canyon base, the park spans 2,000 feet, so you can explore three unique climatic zones: spruce-fir forest, ponderosa-pine forest, and pinyon pine-juniper forest.
Snowy fun: Bryce gets an average of 87 inches of snowfall a year, and is a popular destination for skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts.
