Rim Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park

Highlight • Trail

The Rim Trail encircles the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater and gives spectacular views into the canyon. The trail is 5.5 miles in length, starting at Fairyland Point in the north and extending to Bryce Point farther south in the park. There are many benches located along the path for a quick stop to enjoy a picnic while taking in some of the greatest views on this planet.

Sunrise Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located just a short walk from the parking area, Sunrise Point offers absolutely stunning views into Bryce Canyon. The area is aptly named for being a fantastic spot to view the sunrise, as the eastern facing cliff faces catch the early morning rays and glow in various shades of reds and oranges. From the viewpoint you will look out on to Boat Mesa and Sinking Ship, both iconic hoodoos in the National Park.

Bryce Amphitheater

Highlight • Canyon

The main attraction in Bryce Canyon National Park, the Amphitheater is a large chasm in the landscape filled with the greatest concentration of hoodoos, or large rock spires, anywhere on the planet. The red sandstone creates beautiful flashes of colour across the rocky terrain, with no two views being the same. As the sun tracks across the sky the shadows can drastically change how the area looks, creating stunning silhouettes and brilliant red light shows on the cliff faces. If you are going to visit only one place in Bryce Canyon, go to the Amphitheater.

Queen's Garden Hoodoos, Bryce Canyon National Park

Highlight • Canyon

The area is named after a hoodoo that resembles a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. There are many rock arches in the Queen's Garden, some of which the trail runs straight through. From the Garden you can see many of the other iconic sights like Thor's Hammer and the Amphitheater.

Hoodoos at Bryce Canyon

Highlight • Natural Monument

We reach the spectacular Bryce Canyon. The bizarre rock formations ("hoodoos") are just as characteristic of Bryce Canyon as its forests. The combined forces of wind, water and ice have created a landscape of rock pillars in strange shapes and sizes. These rock formations are also called hoodoos. The hoodoos create a labyrinth of constantly changing shapes and colors from bright orange to pale pink or ochre.
Here we take the opportunity to descend into the canyon. The change of perspective makes us really aware of the size of the individual rock formations. We see several chipmunks that are far too quick for my camera.
