Best hotels, facts and information in Bryce Canyon National Park

Named after the pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southern Utah. Bryce Canyon became a national park in 1924 and is known for its horseshoe-shaped rock amphitheaters that consist of limestone pinnacles or “hoodoos” that were formed by ice and rainwater.

To see the natural rock formations, visitors can drive or hike to some of the park’s best viewpoints including Bryce Point, Sunrise Point and Inspiration Point. Visitors can also go horseback riding past the diverse plant species that vary in the park’s three climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, ponderosa pine forest, and pinyon Ppine/juniper forest. While walking along the trails like Bristlecone Loop Trail and Mossy Cave Trail, you may spot some of the park’s range of animals, which includes 100 species of birds, mountain lions and Rocky Mountain elk.

While Bryce Canyon National Park alone has plenty of natural scenery to discover, visitors can also explore the nearby parks such as Arches National Park, Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Canyonlands National Park
