Bryce Canyon National Park - If you are planning a family vacation to Utah, then Bryce Canyon should be
high on your list of places to visit. Bryce Park is located a short drive to the east of Cedar City, situated
amongst miles and miles of unspoiled wilderness beauty. In fact, Southern Utah has some of the most
interesting canyons, rock formations, trails and forests to be found in the United States.
Bryce Canyon National Park is almost like two parks in one. Visitors can tour the canyon from the top and
enjoy spectacular views. The road and trails, here, traverse the forested plateau portion of the park and
visitors have easy access by automobile to interesting vantage points. There are also trails that you can
follow that allow you to hike down into the canyon from above, and in order to really see and appreciate the
fantastically carved and beautiful rock formations, you must hike below the rim. However, the top area of
the park contains the campgrounds, accommodations and other developments.
Bryce Canyon Lodge has a restaurant and over 110 rooms and cabins. The park has two campgrounds
with approximately 170 tent sites and 55 sites for trailers. Lodging is also available in Panguitch, which is
approximately 25 miles northwest of the park. Cedar City is further away and to the west of the park, but it
is a larger city with more lodging options, situated about halfway between Bryce Canyon and Zion National
Park. If you stay here, please keep a sharp lookout for deer when traveling along scenic highway 14, as it
is not uncommon for them to be out on the road or grazing alongside it.
Below are some pictures of the Bryce Canyon area when we visited in June of 2008. Enjoy!
