While we were staying at Zion National Park, Karoline and I drove over to Bryce to check it out.

Bryce is a few hours from Zion and so we took a nice drive through Red Canyon which routes you to Bryce. Heck the Red Canyon which is in the Dixie National Forest makes the drive pretty interesting. It has a Bryce like appearance at times and yet in other areas you travel through rock that has been wind and water worn, giving it a wavy colorful look.

As with Zion this place gets blasing hot during the day and the trip down and inside of Bryce is a hike. Being prepared with water at minimum is a must.

There is a road that takes you around the canyon.

Bryce is absolutely in the middle of nowhere and when it shows up it is a big suprise. You don't really see it as you are driving there, nor is it really visable until you are well into the park. There is not a whole lot around the area to do besides visiting the park. The Zion area has much more to offer.

Having said that we plan to go back to Bryce for a more extensive hike throughout the place. A winter trip might be the way to go as the bright sandstone colors surely show better with a white winter snow.

At any rate, we did not spend a lot of time here, one day. We did however shoot a lot of photos. Hope you enjoy.

Bryce Information

I can pretty much guarantee that Bryce National Park will leave you slack jawed.

The sheer number of spires that pop out of the land is amazing and beautiful.
