Bryce Amphitheater — Attraction in Bryce Canyon City

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.

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...

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...
