This was my favorite of the Mighty 5. The Navajo loop trail was my favorite trail and is 1.4 mi long that is a moderate hike. Sunset point is the best starting point. The scenic drive is 18 mi long 1 way with 15 stops about.

Bryce Canyon is an absolutely breathtaking and unique national park. In late fall, bright white snow contrasts gorgeously with the orange rock and green pines in the natural amphitheater. There are several great viewpoints along the main road, but it is best to hike into the canyon if you're able. I hiked the Two Bridges/Queen's Garden Loop along with the Peekaboo Loop. Both trails were fantastic and offered opportunities to see the stunning hoodoos up close. In late November it was very chilly during the day, and there was a good amount of snow, so be prepared with traction devices and layers if you're going to hike. The visitor center, restaurants, and general store are either closed or have limited hours during the winter season, so be sure to plan accordingly. There is lodging, gas, etc. just north of the park entrance in Bryce Canyon City. Altogether, a wonderful and enchanting place--my only regret was not staying another day!

Beautiful canyon with gorgeous views - several overlooks. We watched the short video at the visitor's center, and I was glad that we did so we could really appreciate the hoodoos. We limited ourselves a bit due to snow on the paths but LOVED the views we could reach. There is a really cute little town with a few shops and restaurants just outside the park.

Even though Bryce Point was closed and the full road was closed due to snow and ice which had not been cleared on the road, we had an amazing day in Bryce Canyon. Walked a mile along the Rim Track and back to Sunrise Point. Then from sunset point on the Navajo Loop Trail and Queens Garden trail loop. This was a fabulous loop to do and well worth it. Also Inspiration Point and the view from the higher Point was equally great over the whole ampitheatre. Even though there was plenty of snow around the trails are well packed with snow and easy to walk along especially with trax on your shoes. We started the Peekaboo Loop trail as well and were impressed with how easy it as to walk and identify trails. Disappointing the roads weren’t all opened, but thoroughly enjoyed our day and highly recommend.

THIS road trip that included Bryce Canyon was amazing! Bryce Canyon is spectacular, and all roads leading there are as well. Such a feast for the eyes. If you are trying to decide between Bryce and Zion, I recommend Bryce. Zion requires visitors to be on shuttles in the park and the windows aren't clean. My husband has mobility challenges so he can't hike, and Zion requires that you take a shuttle into the park, which we did. But you are limited as to what you can see when you get off at shuttle stops, if you can't hike. But in Bryce Canyon, you can drive through, make stops at the many side road viewing areas , and be awestruck by what you can see! Beauty is everywhere inside and outside of Bryce Canyon. Definitely a must see!

Bryce Canyon was part of our trip visiting all five national parks in southern Utah. The park is busy, and it was difficult to find parking at many of the scenic areas. The lots would be full, so we'd drive further and catch the ones we missed on the way back. There is a shuttle system, but they only travelled as far as Bryce Point. We drove to Rainbow Point and found plenty of scenic spots along the way. The variety of hoodoos and geology is interesting. The four most popular viewpoints (Sunrise and Sunset Points, Inspiration Point, and Bryce Point) are all within three miles of the Visitors' Center.

Breathtaking views of the hoodoos! Look out when walking ice covered paths. It's February and most the roads and lodge are closed. We experienced the three viewpoints open and it was still worth the trip to see it. The snow with the red rocks so beautiful. Nice to have the park to the few of us that were there. The sunny day and blue sky just added to the wonderful view.

Bryce Canyon was second of three National Parks we were going to see today, the first one was the Grand Canyon North Rim. We took the Amphitheater Scenic Drive, it didn’t disappoint us, we took a short trail at Inspiration Point & took some amazing pictures!!!

My complaint with the NPS (National Park Service) and this park has to do with access to the park in winter. Twice now I have visited in winter and both times the road access into the park ended about 2 miles into the park which normally has about a 17 mile drive with lots of great overlooks and trails. So I got to see the same 4 lookouts as last visit. Beautiful of course, but very limiting. I noticed that the road into the park was plowed and clear far past the point where the NPS had closed the gates to the road. So there was obviously no road danger letting traffic go further into the park. And next day, despite no snow or other weather issues, the road remained closed. This in contrast to Zion National Park where we went next and which was experiencing very bad weather conditions. While they too had closed off some of the roads initially, they were reopened either later in the day or the next day. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for Bryce. At $30 an admission, it would be nice to actually see some of this magnificent park, so maybe a bit more plowing is in order.

We visited in December most of the park was closed and that left us to experience Bryce with the winds and a group of friends. If you wanted you could practically just drive through take a few pics and miss the grandeur. It’s only when you look around you realize you are up too looking down. We were lucky to catch the sunrise at sunrise point it was really cold and windy, like 50 mph windy blowing up the amphitheater. I’m sure there are tons of lost ball caps somewhere with mine. We never even saw where it went. The winter sunrise was breathtaking and without the wind blowing sand up the canyon walls onto us it would have been great. We went out of the park after sunrise and ate. Came back and hiked down into the hoodoos it was a great morning in Bryce. Yon can hike several trails, we chose to hike until around 4 the sun was fading and it was getting pretty cold with the wind. Bryce is beautiful in a more subtle way then Zion or the Grand Canyon.
