Great scenic highway with spectacular views of red rocks and the surrounding mountains and also alpine meadows

This is just another incredibly scenic drive in Utah. The rocks can get so orange/red. You're going to want to keep your camera with you.

The scenery changes drastically as you make your way down the highway. There are pine trees, vast canyons, and unique rock formations.

Did this drive with my mama, in a convertible - honestly, consider renting on for your trip! You’re able to take in SO much more :) Beautiful drive, highly recommend!

Views were so pretty I forgot I'd left the camera on top of my car. Unfortunate, but it survived the fall! Drive slow and take it all in, it's a beautiful stretch of road.

I love driving scenic byways across America. This road is one of my top 5. The red rock buttes, distant mountains, desert wildlife, and weird roadside attractions make this a real life “cars” movie scene.

Bike Thunder Mountain Trail

Thunder Mountain Trail is one that should be on every mountain bikers bucket list. It's located just outside of Bryce Canyon National Park and passes through hoodoos, classic Bryce Canyon topography and epic views to the west. For the first 2.5 miles, the trail meanders back and forth with little climbs and descents. At the 4 mile mark, you are rewarded with two Easter Isleesque hoodoos. Afte...

Camp at Dave's Hollow Campground

We all know the crowds well at our favorite National Parks, and Bryce Canyon is no exception. When you're looking to get a little further away from the noise, lights, and experience of a National Park campground, you often don't have to go very far off the main road. This adventure is for those who want to sit under incredible heavenly views of the galaxy, while enjoying the quiet forest settin...

Bryce Canyon Scenic Drive

Inspiration Point: All who look out from this point are bound to be inspired. The intricacies of the hoodoos and their formation through the erosion of the Claron Formation is simply beautiful. You get the most spectacular perspective of the main amphitheater in Bryce Canyon here. Swamp Canyon: Swamp Canyon appears relatively small and sheltered from the overlook, bounded on both sides by fins...

Winter Camping in Bryce Canyon National Park

The incredible views at Bryce Canyon National Park can be described with little else than a “Wow.” During a snowy winter, especially, these sights are not to be missed.There is only one campground open during the winter, Sunset Campground, and it is first come, first serve. Most visitors shy away from camping here due to the chilly temperatures, leaving you with a campground practically to your...

Tower Bridge via Fairyland Loop

Getting there is half the fun on this hike below the canyon rim. While there are fewer hoodoos in this area of the park, the scenery is still incredible and the crowds are much lighter. Starting at Sunrise Point, the trail boasts big views immediately. During the first mile you can look out at China Wall, Sinking Ship, and endless panoramic views of the park and beyond. The trail descends t...

Wall Street Loop in Bryce Canyon

Hoodoos? What's that you say? Hoodoos are these amazing rock formations that Bryce Canyon is famous for. This hike is hands down the best way to see the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. This hike allows for stunning lookout points from the rim and the experience of hiking through the hoodoos of the canyon. We did the hike in fall just before a some snowfall, which in my opinion made the hike even mor...
