- Bryce Canyon Visitor Center - Begin an exciting journey through Bryce Canyon National Park just before reaching the Visitor Center. As the drive commences, the story of the canyon’s namesake and the original Paiute inhabitants of the land will unfold.
- 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 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.
- Fairyland Point - The first detour is at the stunning Fairyland Point. This overlook provides a wonderful preview of Bryce Canyon’s offerings: expansive vistas, steep cliffs, and the iconic hoodoos!
- Sunrise Point - The next stop is one of the park’s most renowned locations: Sunrise Point. From this viewpoint, visitors can admire unique, picturesque rock formations and numerous natural trails leading into the vast, alien landscape.
- Bryce Amphitheater - The self-guided driving tour continues around the renowned Bryce Amphitheater! The canyon forms a giant semicircle and descends far below.
- Sunset Point - The drive leads to another remarkable vista point overlooking the Bryce Amphitheater: Sunset Point. Here, visitors can learn about the science behind the formations and discover what makes a hoodoo. The tour explores the impact of geology and erosion over vast time scales, offering insights into the creation of this incredible landscape.
- Inspiration Point - The self-guided tour delves deeper into Bryce Canyon, heading towards Inspiration Point. Along the way, visitors 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 stop brings visitors 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, the tops of hoodoos appear to ignite with the first rays of the rising sun, as the orange light spreads, driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. The drive includes stories of the Mormon settlers who followed the Paiute and attempted to make a living in this challenging climate.
- Paria View - The self-guided tour continues to Paria View, showcasing the effects of a centuries-old glacier. As the earth warmed around 12,000 years ago, the last ice age ended. The melting glaciers that once covered the American continent released vast amounts of water, which flowed down the canyon.
- Swamp Canyon Overlook - The drive ventures into the less-traveled part of the park, heading to Swamp Canyon Overlook. Here, visitors learn about a famous local: Butch Cassidy! The tour covers Butch, Sundance, and the distinction between fact and fiction.
- Farview Point - The next stop is Farview Point. The elevation here provides incredible views, but 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, featuring unusual arches and formations, adding to the amazement of the amphitheater’s hoodoos.
- Agua Canyon - At Agua Canyon, two prominent hoodoos capture attention. On the left is “The Hunter,” the taller of the two towers, and on the right is the “Rabbit.” Despite their names, neither resembles a hunter or rabbit! The drive includes insights into the wildlife of Bryce, such as rabbits and deer, and their survival strategies for the hot summers and freezing winters.
- Ponderosa Canyon - This stop leads to Ponderosa Point, where visitors can see the park’s iconic junipers stretching 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. Along the way, visitors learn about the night sky and opportunities for amateur astronomy. The stargazing at Bryce is unmatched.
- Rainbow Point - Finally, the tour reaches the farthest overlooks inside Bryce Canyon: Rainbow and Yovimpa. From here, nearly everything in Bryce Canyon is visible – the quintessential hoodoos, the lush basin, the sheer cliffs. Visitors can even see that they are on the top step of the massive “Grand Staircase,” a geologic structure that descends 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. Although they resemble natural arches, they were actually constructed by people. Workers tunneled through solid rock here in 1914 to create space for the road. Since then, these arches have become a gateway to the stunning expanse of Bryce Canyon.
