General presentation
Bryce Canyon
Orange Hoodoos amphitheatres dominating the plateau forests.
The discovery of Bryce Canyon revolves around Bryce Amphitheater, Navajo Loop Trail and Sunrise Point. The stay thus alternates between desert areas, forests and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Bryce Amphitheater
Bryce Amphitheater is the great natural bowl where the orange hoodoos that made Bryce Canyon's reputation are tightened. From the edge, the look dives into a forest of arrows and pinnacles; down the paths, the silhouettes become walls, narrow passages and rock windows.
Nature and panorama
Navajo Loop Trail
Navajo Loop Trail descends from the edge of Bryce in a decor of tight laces, high walls and nearby Hoodoos. The passage from Wall Street, when open, gives the impression of entering a slit cut between the cliffs; the path is short, but the climb quickly recalls the altitude of the plateau.
Nature and landscape
Sunrise Point
Sunrise Point dominates the main amphitheatre of Bryce with a direct view of the hoodoos, pines and coloured folds of the plateau. The name is not usurped: at dawn, the first lights light the sandstone tips one by one, before the paths of the edge fill.
Nature and landscape
Rainbow Point
Rainbow Point is one of the highest and most remote sectors of the road Bryce Canyon. The panorama changes in scale, with coniferous forests, distant amphitheatres and, in clear weather, a succession of plateaus that disappear south of Utah.
