- Bryce Canyon National Park - Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon was designated a National Park in 1924. It is renowned for its distinctive geology, featuring a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The erosive forces have sculpted the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into unique shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires known as hoodoos.
Note: The tour spans over 60 miles, includes more than 30 audio stories, and takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete.
- Bryce Canyon Visitor Center - Begin this remarkable journey through Bryce Canyon National Park just before the Visitor Center. As the drive commences, learn about the canyon’s namesake and the original Paiute people who inhabited this land.
- Fairyland Point - The first detour is at the stunning Fairyland Point. This overlook provides a wonderful preview of everything Bryce Canyon offers: expansive vistas, sheer cliffs, and the iconic hoodoos!
- Sunrise Point - The next stop is one of the park’s most renowned locations: Sunrise Point. From this viewpoint, observe unique, picturesque rock formations and numerous natural trails leading into the vast, alien landscape.
- Bryce Amphitheater - The self-guided driving tour continues around the famous Bryce Amphitheater! The canyon curves in a giant semicircle and descends far below.
- Sunset Point - The drive leads to another breathtaking vista point overlooking the Bryce Amphitheater: Sunset Point. Here, learn about the science behind the formations and understand what makes a hoodoo. Explore the impact of geology and erosion over time to comprehend how this incredible landscape was formed.
- Inspiration Point - The tour continues deeper into Bryce Canyon, towards Inspiration Point. As the drive progresses, learn about the Paiute people and their mythologies, which offer their own explanations for the landscape’s uniqueness and the origins of Bryce’s famous hoodoos.
- Bryce Point - This leads to Bryce Point, offering one of the most scenic views of the full amphitheater. Bryce Point is also renowned for its extraordinary sunrises. From here, watch the tops of hoodoos light up with the first rays of the rising sun. As the drive continues, learn about the Mormon settlers who followed the Paiute and attempted to make a living in this challenging climate.
- Paria View - The self-guided tour proceeds to Paria View, where the effects of a centuries-old glacier are visible. As the earth warmed around 12,000 years ago, the last ice age ended. The melting glaciers released water that flowed down the canyon.
- Swamp Canyon Overlook - The drive now enters the less-traveled part of the park. At Swamp Canyon Overlook, learn about a famous local: Butch Cassidy! Discover the stories of Butch, Sundance, and the difference between fact and fiction as the self-guided tour continues.
- Farview Point - The next stop is at Farview Point. It’s not just the elevation that provides such incredible views here – the area also offers something increasingly rare today: clean air! This is aided by the abundance of bristlecone pines, the Earth’s oldest trees.
- Natural Bridge - The self-guided tour passes by Natural Bridge next, showcasing unusual arches and formations – in case the hoodoos of the amphitheater weren’t already impressive!
- Agua Canyon - At Agua Canyon, two prominent hoodoos capture attention. On the left is the taller tower, “The Hunter,” and to the right, the “Rabbit.” Neither resembles a hunter or rabbit! As the drive continues, learn about the wildlife of Bryce, including rabbits and deer, and how they survive the hot summers and freezing winters.
- Ponderosa Canyon - This leads to Ponderosa Point, where the park’s iconic junipers stretch into the distance. The drive now enters the deepest parts of Bryce Canyon National Park.
- Black Birch Canyon - The self-guided drive continues towards Black Birch Canyon Overlook. Learn about the night sky and opportunities for amateur astronomy while visiting. The stargazing at Bryce is unmatched.
- Rainbow Point - Finally, reach the farthest overlooks inside Bryce Canyon: Rainbow and Yovimpa. From here, see nearly everything in Bryce Canyon – the quintessential hoodoos, the lush basin, the sheer cliffs. It’s evident that this is the top step of the massive “Grand Staircase” – a geologic structure descending all the way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
- Red Canyon - The arch ahead and its twin further down the road are the Red Canyon Arches. They may resemble natural arches, but they were actually constructed by people. Workers tunneled through solid rock here in 1914 to make way for the road. Since then, these have become a gateway to the stunning expanse of Bryce Canyon.
