Lower Inspiration Point — Attraction in Four Corners States

Inspiration Point is one of the viewpoints along the Scenic Drive in Bryce Canyon National Park. Situated shortly after the turnoff east towards Bryce Viewpoint.

The Inspiration point provides a east and northeast view into the Bryce Amphitheatre. While less impressive than what you will see at the next stop - Bryce Viewpoint, Inspiration Point is still very much making time, even if for just few minutes. From here you are very near impressive stacks of hoodoo structures and can see deeply into the amphitheatre. The views are very attractive.

Note: There is a Shuttle bus stop at Inspiration Point for those who are not planning to drive their own vehicle. Further, the Rim trail start/stops at Bryce Point if you are interested in walking the Rim Trial to/from the Lodge area, passing by Inspiration along the way.

In the end, we liked the close up view of the hoodoo stacks facing north and northeast from the Inspiration Viewpoint. Some fine colour displays were seen at the time of our visit, making for some nice photographs.

Note: If you want to visit all of the viewpoints along the Scenic Drive, it is best to start from south to north. As such, drive all the way o Rainbow and Yavimpa Points, then make your way back north, pulling over to the right hand side when you approach a viewpoint which strikes...

We visited Inspiration Point in Bryce Canyon National Park in the afternoon, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The vibrant colors of the hoodoos against the clear blue sky were truly stunning, making it one of the most memorable spots in the park.

In terms of accessibility, Inspiration Point is fairly easy to reach. There’s a parking lot nearby, and the walk to the viewpoint is short, although it does involve a slight uphill climb.

Inspiration Point was definitely a highlight, and for us, it ranks as the second-best viewpoint in the park, right after Bryce Point. The afternoon light was perfect for photography, with the sun casting dramatic shadows on the rock formations. If you're visiting Bryce Canyon, this is a spot you can't miss! The peacefulness and the jaw-dropping scenery make it well...

We visited Bryce Canyon on July 4th and were pleasantly surprised that the park was not overly crowded, even on a holiday. The views were absolutely spectacular—this was our first time visiting, and it certainly lived up to expectations.

For my wife and daughter, the experience was especially meaningful, as they are descendants of Ebenezer Bryce, the canyon’s namesake. That connection added a personal and memorable dimension to the trip.

We hiked from Inspiration Point to Bryce Point and found the trail had a bit more of a roller-coaster feel than expected, with several elevation changes along the way. Still, it was a beautiful day and a stunning hike—well...
