Known for its unique geological formations, Bryce Canyon in southern Utah features an array of hoodoos—tall, irregular spires of rock. The park's main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path.
Top Feature: Bryce Amphitheater
Despite its name, Bryce Canyon is not actually a canyon but a series of amphitheaters carved into the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
The park's high elevation means that temperatures can be cooler, even in the summer, so visitors should come prepared with layers.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the park's stunning night skies, as Bryce Canyon is designated as an International Dark Sky Park.
Exploring the park's trails offers a chance to see the hoodoos up close and discover hidden gems like natural arches and slot canyons.
