Brycye Canyon National Park

Spend the day exploring Bryce Canyon
Driving up to Bryce is similar to the approach to the Grand Canyon, for the most part it dose not look like much until you get there. There are a few red rocks poking out, but mostly it just nice pine forest till you get to the edge and then BOOM!  Bryce is a very intimate and approachable canyon, you can walk down to the bottom, wander around there, and pop back up at another point.

At this point the canyon is off in the distance.

Typical woods and meadow on the way from Tropic, UT

A tree perched on the edge of the canyon.

The trail that runs along the edge of the canyon.


Over view from the edge with trails below.









We did the 2-3 hour horse ride. It was the perfect size ride for me.




After the horse ride we hiked back down into the canyon. Many of the hiking trails are narrower than the horse trails.











Back up out of the canyon, the accomodations at the park are discrete and tasteful, if you can stay there being handy to the canyon is great but I did not see it as critical.

I placed a red arrow to point out the person standing on the edge. Clicking on any photo will enlarge it.

One last shot of Bryce.
