This was a fun little hike that took us 3 hours including the 4 kilometer / 2.5 miles of rim trail. I would suggest this trail even to families with younger kids.

Amazing hike, highly recommended !! Contrary to the park’s recommendation, I hiked it clockwise because the grade seemed more manageable, and I wanted a gentle finish from Sunrise View back to Fairyland View. I’m glad I did because in that direction the sudden view of the Boat Mesa a bit more than an hour in gave me goosebumps. Incredible views !

My favorite hike in Bryce Canyon (full disclosure: the also highly regarded Peek-A-Boo trail was closed due to rockslides so I can't compare it to that one). The rock formations here were incredible and there was so much variety in them, as well as the terrain itself. I felt myself saying "wow" nearly every time I rounded a turn or crested a hill. This trail really takes you down into the canyon, then back up, then back down again, before finally climbing above the starting point and back down. It is over 7 miles and very little of it is flat, so I'd say it is a somewhat strenuous hike, but it's certainly doable for anyone with a decent level of fitness. In terms of enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment at the end, this hike will leave you feeling awesome. It goes without saying bring plenty of water and sunscreen for this one. The hike starts and ends outside the park proper, but there are sections where the hike is inside Bryce Canyon NP, so although you might be able to complete it without anyone checking for your park pass (no one hassled me on a Thursday in early November) the NPS needs funding to preserve incredible places like this so pay your fee.

This review is for winter weather, from trailhead to Tower Bridge. Summary: super awesome. It's been cold and snow is on the ground. The park road is only open 3 miles. We got to the park a little before 10 am and it was 23 degrees.. There was still parking. Put on your ice cleats, grab hiking poles if you want and roll... Right at the step off from the main rim trail someone had clearly nearly fallen down the cliff. The snow reveals all. Don't be that guy; pay attention. That is actually the trickiest part of the trail. Prepare yourself for awesome views. It is so good. Round trip took us several hours. On the way down in the cold morning we saw *1* person. On the way up we saw about 15. It was moderate difficulty, not outlandish. We ate lunch at tower bridge with a chipmunk, blue bird (don't feed the animals). Enjoy!

Fantastic trail, better than the Grand Canyon! It’s like you’re hiking on Mars! Amazing walk, take lots of water if it’s a hot day. We ran out and the last leg along the rim trail getting back to our car, whilst amazingly beautiful, was difficult in the 105 degree heat! We did this anti-clockwise and enjoyed it!

We started from North Campground and went counter clock wise. It was really good hike, one of the best. There are not many people here, as trails needs at least 3 hours.

What a beautiful hike! I did the trail counter clockwise and came back on the rim trail. I started and ended at sunrise point. That’s what I’d recommend. There’s no shuttle from fairyland point.

For inexperienced hikers, this was a mental hurdle, but we did it! It's a long hike, but a rewarding one. The middle of October was a great time to go, no crowds, cool air... All great.

Great hike, with a decent elevation. Bring water, snacks and shoes with closed toes, anticipate rocky trail. I came in sandals and boy i paid for it. Overall very nice, intermediate difficulty trail. I would say considering elevation and stopping to take pictures allow 2 hours for a round trip. The trail is also adjacent to Tower Bridge Trail, so my pics may my mixed

We took a chance and found an appropriate first-come, first-serve campsite to accommodate our 27' camper. Our site was pull-through, with nice trees. Wish we'd known beforehand to BRING CASH for the fee envelope, and to fill up with water in town at the Sinclair mega-station! Water/dump services turned on May 18, during our stay, so we were able to use those dump services as we left. Camp hosts were very kind. Make sure to stock up on groceries before you come to the area; there really isn't much, and it's pricey.

Tent camped for the night. Freezing cold!! It was so much fun even though we about froze to death. Get your Fire Wood from Ruby's General Store. Grabbed 4 bundles cost about $20 total. Loop A was the only one open cause of the snow but there is lots of space for tents.

Fantastic campsite! I would recommend anyone going to Bryce Canyon to stay here. It is wonderfully close to the rim train which connects to everything else. No complaints here. The bathrooms were wonderful and you can walk to the general store for a shower!

We were lucky enough to arrive in the morning of a quiet day and got good pitch for 2 nights on loop A. Loops B&C not yet open for spring/summer. No hookups but drinking water, table and fire pit available. Toilets clean & warm, and showers available at nearby general store. Was freezing overnight with a sprinkling of snow but no problems. Easy walk to the rim of the canyon - definitely the favourite campsite of whole trip!!

We only stayed for one night but it was a great site! first come first serve and only spent $20. Make sure you bring cash to put in the envelope to reserve site. Without much in the area around Bryce, this was a great option! Had bathrooms and running water, was very close to the majority of hiking trails and close to the visitor center!

The campground is beautiful and close to most trails. You can easily walk to the trail head and the general store for showering. We met the camp host Sears and she was an angel. She accommodated us like her own family and went beyond her way to make sure we are ok. She made our whole experience special. We will be back 💙

Good location, adequate bathrooms throughout the campground. Nice dark sky campground. Get a pull through site at the lowest loop. Then your live side is facing noone as long as you get the very bottom row. Great ranger programs. Paved bike trail right there to get you around. Convenient to visitors center and the shuttle bus.

Great Campground! Pros: - Close proximity to the rim of the canyon - Clean and quiet - Heated bathrooms with outlet - Place for washing dishes - Shaded campgrounds with a bench and firepit - Good cellular coverage Cons: - If unlucky you might get spot on a slope - No hand sanitizer or soap

Wonderful campground with direct access to the rim and easy hiking/biking trails to north rim visitors center. Rangers were very friendly and helpful. Bike and hiking trails were in excellent condition.

Bryce Canyon is a stunning natural wonder, and I wanted to share my experience at the Sunset Campground within the park. Unfortunately, my recent visit to the campground was marred by some management issues. The Sunset Campground offers 100 campsites spread across three loops, two for tents and one for RVs. However, during my visit, I observed some problems with the facilities: - The restroom facility at the RV loop was permanently closed, leaving all 100 campers to share only one restroom on the tent side. - The open restroom facility had only two stalls for over 100 campers, leading to long lines and wait times. - To make matters worse, there was no soap provided in the restroom for hand washing, which made it difficult for campers to maintain proper hygiene. As a result, I saw some campers walk out of the restroom without washing their hands with water, which concerns public health and hygiene. During the off-season, the Sunset Campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and the staff and management can determine which campsites are designated for tents or RVs. However, during our visit, we observed many camper vans using RV sites without being registered as RVs. When the campground is open for reservations, the qualification is determined by the reservation system. However, during the off-season, it's up to the staff and management to decide which campsites are suitable for which types of vehicles. It's worth noting that many of the RV sites in Sunset Campground are not flat, with approximately 80% requiring significant effort to level correctly. RV owners and trailer users should be prepared to bring levelling pads and work hard to get their vehicles situated ideally. Additionally, around 50% of the RV sites are pretty small and may only be suitable for parking a van without much extra space around it. Overall, while the Sunset Campground is a lovely place to stay, the management of the facilities could be improved to serve campers better.

This is a great location near the park headquarters. I visited in February so I was able to use the first-come first-serve approach to secure a campsite without difficulty. I just filled out the reservation form at the campground after choosing an open site. The campground is small and most of the camp sites are not flat, so be prepared for that. The restrooms were adequate. It's great staying in the park if you want to get sunrise / sunset photos.

Leaving a review only bc I see some nonsense complaints here. This is a top campground with modern picnic tables, fire rings with adjustable grills, and modern clean flush toilets that nicer than your average rest area (no bugs or graffiti). The sites don't have views and some are kind of close to each other... So what. You're still surrounded by pine trees and away from busy roads. If you don't like it, Go get a hotel room then or go dispersed. Don't believe the whiners here. You're camping in a well managed area and steps from the Bryce canyon.

It's a nice campground but I honestly don't think 30$ is in any way reasonable for a tent spot. Camping should not be reserved just for the wealthy.

Great campground. Location 41 does not have a pull off and is at a huge angle so be aware how you park so your head is uphill at night when you sleep. It is a great spot if you have solar on your roof though. I HIGHLY recommend either bringing or renting an ebike. The shuttles are great but it's a longer walk to the visitor center to get on the shuttles from the camp ground. Bring your own soap and shampoo for the showers. It's a great camp ground.

Nice spot close to everything. Makes it easy to get to a parking spot before they fill up, or you can hike right from the campgrounds. Only downside is there's not a lot of privacy between sites.

Very convenient, trails are accessible from the campground. Bathrooms are nice, campsites aren’t too crowded together

Enjoyed spot 82, which was very close to the Fairyland Trail and beautiful views. Bring your own hand soap, but the bathrooms were good by campsite standards. Nearby $3 showers at the general store. The park shuttle was a great way of getting around.

Thoroughly enjoyed this campsite. The ground wasn’t too hard to drive in the stakes, and the bathroom wasn’t a far distance to walk. We experienced a heavy thunderstorm the night we were there in June but we survived! No issues with flooding because of our good location. Nice amount of space between campsites, also pretty quiet.

We did 4 days in Sunset group camp area. Fantastic tent camping among the shade of beautiful trees. Group camping has it's own men's & women's bathroom with flush toilets & sinks. Also a separate place for washing dishes. All kept perfectly clean. The free Bryce bus is only a few steps away. We got pretty good cell service from a multitude of providers. All in all I highly recommend.

We loved this campground! Ours was kinda crummy cause we got a spot with really no trees so we had to keep moving the table around in order to stay in the shade. But it was quiet, beautiful scenery, great no bathrooms. No showers. And right next to everything.

First come first serve campground inside of Bryce Canyon National Park. RVs are $30.00 a night, and use loop A. Tents are $20.00 a night and use loops B and C. Rest rooms with flush toilets. Showers are available at the store in the park. Lots of trees and shade. Fire pit and picnic table at each site. No hook ups for RVs. It's a beautiful, quiet, campground.

Lots of empty sites in Loop A before 2pm. Looks like it fills by 4. We arrived by 8 am and campsite host hadn't done morning rounds yet. 21 ft trailer barely fit. Not much room if you are longer than that. Great location!

The campground is located all the way in the park, making it the more tucked-away option. Very quiet, but you will likely be needing the free shuttle (running every 15 minutes or so) to get to the store & shower facilities. Lots of campsites to choose from, first-come-first-served principle in mid-October. Be aware that you have to pay the fees ($30 per night) with CASH! If you don‘t have cash on you, you’ll have to drive all the way back to the park entrance to pay there. Toilets were clean. There is an area to wash your dishes. No hookups available. Would recommend! The Bryce Canyon is worth seeing.

Very disappointed in the campground. I have a rooftop tent on top of my Subaru Outback. The parking pad was so narrow that I was unable to open my tent safely. We have been on the road for three months, using this tent, and have never had this issue. (Picture attached for reference). I had three nights reserved here, and ended up paying $400 for a hotel in Bryce Canyon City. Sites are jammed together, high volume of people. Had a great time in the park, hiking, etc. but the campground was a no go for me.

Sites are paved, most are short, tough for big rigs, no pull throughs (except 2ADA). Restrooms are clean, fire pits, tables, easy access to shuttle bus! 3 loops, 1 Rv only, 2 Tents only. 90% we’re available in mid August while North Campground was full!

Most of the "RV" spots are very short. No one around to answer questions. Bathroom is a very far walk from most spots but was clean with flush toilets and running water to wash hands (but no soap). The dark sky program meant the night sky was absolutely beautiful!

This campground is in the heart of Bryce Canyon. It's a wonderful location, close to all the hiking areas and scenic viewpoints. The bathrooms were clean and it has picnic tables and fire pits in most camp areas. I do wish the campground hosts were a little less strict about certain things (like hammocks) but I understand why they have to be, especially in a national park. If the campground is full, some of the tents seemed to be really close together but that's also what you get with a campground like this.

This is an amazing campground. The hosts were super kind and they went above and beyond. The bathrooms were super clean (cleanest I've seen in a campground) and there was hot water. There is no soap in the bathrooms, but I had face wash so it didn't matter. There are no showers at the campground, but there are some at the general store. There is a sink to clean pots and a preparation counter. We are planning on coming back.

We camped out here at Sunset FCFS (first come, first served during times of April 15-Oct 31), because the North Campground was full. It worked out well, we got here early after our drive from Zion. Site was close to facilities which was nice. No showers at the campground, but paid showers available by general store. Purchase a token, $3 for eight minutes. We drove there, can walk, but little further. Site was clean, fire pit, and a table. Our site had 2, apparently campers before moved the tables over. We went out to hike during the day and came back and the table had been moved to the proper site. This particular site, found the most level area as possible. We loved it, first time camping out west for my family, I had been there before when i was single and wanted to have my family experience the great outdoor places the US has to offer. Easy to reserve site, just follow the directions as you pull into campsite. Bulletin board as you pull in, drive around the campground and find an open site grab the paper and fill it out and return it to lockbox up front. Would go out there again and stay. Bryce is beautiful, take advantage of it. Bryce Canyon itself is a 5/5, anything less you aren't appreciating it.

I stayed here on my visit to the Mighty 5. It was perfect to stay inside the park. No need to wake up early and deal with the traffic trying to enter the park. The stars lit up the sky at night, which is always special. Looking to return.

Gorgeous must visit national park. Visiting in the summer? It’s very hot. But, don’t let it fool you. It can get cold at the snap of a finger. Started the day at 99-100 degrees Fahrenheit and left around 4-5pm local time at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. We were lucky to have our jackets with us. Take lots of water and be patient with fellow visitors as there are many great areas to snap great pictures but some may be in very specific spots (like on trails). Some go just for the hikes, others want to capture them. Whichever you’re going for try to respect each other and don’t be rude to those trying to capture the moments, even if you may feel it’s excessive.

By far the best spot in Bryce Canyon National Park. You must visit this area. There's a decent amount of parking around here, but be prepared to find it all full. This is where a lot of trails begin, including the famous Navajo loop trail.

Words cannot express the magnificence of this park. We drive in but use the shuttle as parking is scarce. Even off season there was plenty of hikers. Everyone was courteous and mindful of other hikers. Would love to have spent more time

This viewpoint is iconic for a reason. The mind-blowing landscape of vivid colors and incredible rock formations as far as the eye can see is truly awe-inspiring. Rivaled only by it's neighbor Sunrise Point (and perhaps maybe Inspiration Point) this is absolutely a must-see attraction in Bryce Canyon NP. Sure it will be crowded, but the views are more than worth it. If you're in decent physical condition, try hiking the Navajo Loop below to see the amazing views from a different perspective

This is an amazing place with so much to look at you will want to stop every 100 ft and take a picture. The Queens garden and Navajo trail hike is excellent with use of the twin Bridges and Thor's hammer. I suggest getting on the trail early to beat the crowds plus starting at sunrise or sunset point before sunrise gives you an amazing view of the sun coming up over the canyon. The campsites are first come first serve and have very nice facilities.

I feel like $35 is kind of a lot to get into the park. That being said, it was gorgeous. We were with family members who used a wheelchair and had some kids in strollers, so we didn't stay too long because the hikes were not appropriate, but we were able to take in some fantastic views. Next time I go, I will try some the hikes, then maybe $35 won't be so bad.

Stunning. Magnificent. Majestic. Jaw dropping. Poetic. Mother Nature is truly the best artist. This place has hoodoos like no other hoodoos place I’ve seen. Huge expanse as far as the eye could see. It’s so picturesque, words are unnecessary. Somehow, the snow on the hoodoos made it even more poetic and beautiful. Everywhere I looked, it was photogenic at all angles. The sun was going down when we were there so the lighting was perfect. Totally recommend this place!

Truly breathtaking views! Despite its name, sunrise here is amazing with an incredible depth of color (and in my opinion a better option here than at Sunrise Point, but it’s not far from here so you can check both out).

It’s indeed a sunset point. What a view. Just want to sit there and watch the sun go down and let time pass by. The colours and out of this world. Do thank the creator when your totally embraced in the environment. One of the best sunsets. Shoes with grips and walking sticks if going down in the canyon. Water and food must.

One of best national parks that I was in. Totally recommend spending at least one whole day in it, for sure if someone has more time there is enough things to see. I also recommend staying at the hotel nearby as it gets crowded at morning, so you don’t need to get in there so early. I think that trails are moderate, but there is a lot of places to stop and rest.

When I come to the rim of the canyon, I finally realize why they made this National park. It’s like nothing I ever see. Words hard to describe the feeling of being awe by the majestic of the rock formation. It’s god made. Magnificent views from all around. Sitting at 8000 feet altitude, this area has most concentration of hoodoos. Rim trail is easy and gorgeous views that offer the best view for amphitheater.

I heard this place referred to as a hidden gem multiple times and I have to agree. The park is easy to navigate, trails well marked. I did the Navajo Loop and Queens Garden Trail which is about three miles and connects to the Sunset Point to Sunrise Point Trail . I opted to go during the off season which gave me less people and more solitude. I did need Micro spikes for the ice and snow, but it was totally fine. I recommend this place 100 percent! Go now! You won’t regret it .

Very beautiful point better than sunrise and gets better and better! We went in December and view with snow is amazing! We started Navajo queens lop here and went down hill in the canyon and came up to sunrise point. It was a nice trail! Even the lookout at sunset is very beautiful. Trail makes you feel the real canyon!

Try and get here earlier to get a parking spot. We had no problems when we got here for sunrise but there were a lot of cars looking for parking when we left at lunch time. It is gorgeous for sunrise in this area.

It's one of the most spectacular places you'll ever see. It's a 2 hour drive from Zion. You can't visit Zion National Park and not visit Bryce Canyon. You just need to spend a day there. The town on the way was pretty cool too

Bryce Canyon National Park is an absolute marvel of nature! From the breathtaking hoodoos to the stunning vistas, every corner of this park is a photographer's dream. Hiking through the intricate maze of trails offers a sense of adventure and awe-inspiring beauty at every turn. Sunrise and sunset paint the sky with colors so vivid they seem almost surreal. The park's ranger-led programs provide valuable insights into its geology and wildlife. Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking solace in the great outdoors, Bryce Canyon National Park is a must-visit destination that will leave you utterly spellbound.

Beautiful park that remains one of our favorite National Parks! Visiting in the winter provided a completely new perspective. The trails weren’t too crowded nor too icy though warm clothes, gloves and hiking boots are a must.

The Amphitheatre is a featured highlight in Bryce Canyon National Park. Conveniently located near The Lodge, this is where visitors come to see the outstanding landscape views and endless stacks of hoodoo land formations for which the national park is known for. The Rim Trail is a great way to enjoy the Amphitheatre. Particularly impressive viewpoints are found at Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration and Bryce Points, where you can peer deep into the area, taking in outstanding views of hoodoos, other interesting land formations, Douglas Firs and hiking trails. Views into the distance are rewarding as well We were lucky to visit in early April while there remained a thin layer of snow at the Bryce Amphitheatre, giving way to many memorable photographs from the Rim viewpoints. For those interested, you can also descend into the Bryce Amphitheatre and enjoy the whimsical trails through the hoodoo forest area found along the Navajo & Queen's Garden Trails. These two dandies link up within the Amphitheatre and form one of the very best hikes we have taken in the States over the year. Seeing the hoodoos up close and personally is a fantastic experience, regardless of your interest in geology. These unique land formations are beautiful. This is probably one of the very best spots in the world to see hoodoos. Overall, we very much enjoyed our time around the Amphitheatre in Bryce Canyon National Park. This is one of those 'WOW' places that you will eagerly want to return to at some point in your future travels.

The landscape is so amazing, nothing like I ever seen. There are so many different spots to view the amphitheater so its overcrowded in one space from Bryce Point to Sunset Pt or Sunrise PT or hiking the rim trail. Once you see it, you will never get your eyes off it.

Bryce Amphitheater, the first three miles of the park, has the most iconic and popular views of Bryce, Sunrise, Sunset and Inspiration Points. The trails are easier walking there than those below the rim. It gets warm on the paved trail so if your schedule can be arranged to walk whatever part of this trail you wish to early on, you'll be more comfortable. Several trails also take off from here, including the Navajo and Queen's Garden. Wear good shoes; even though it is paved, it can be uneven. Note that if your camping rig is 20-feet or longer, you may not park in the Visitor Center's lot near the Amphitheater during the shuttle bus season. It is suggested that you park at the shuttle bus station, or across the road from the Visitor Center.

Amazing view and absolute silence.

On my bucket list ..if the USA ever lets us Brits in again

Beautiful! Takes your breath away!

Must see
