Each year, over two million tourists head to Bryce Canyon National Park to experience its otherworldly magic. This sprawling reserve is located in southern Utah, near the city of Bryce, and is best known for its crimson-colored hoodoos – spire-shaped rock formations. As visitors enter the park, the road will take them past the marvelous Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled canyon that lies just below the Rim Trail – a popular hiking path. Some of the park’s top viewpoints include Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point, and Bryce Point. Visitors can deepen their understanding of this magnificent park by attending ranger programs; they’ll enjoy rim walks, geology talks, night sky viewing, and full-moon hikes.
