Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

I spent 2 nights at Bryce Canyon in August of last year as part of a fly-drive holiday that also included Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Valley, and Zion National Park. Of all the National Parks in the USA, Bryce Canyon has to be the strangest and most intriguing landscape I have come across so far. The vivid reds, oranges, and pinks, so distinctive of much of Arizona and southern Utah, are at their most vibrant here, no matter what time of the day or month of the year you visit. The unique, intricate rock formations make you feel as though you are on another planet, and ... more

Bryce Canyon was one of my favourite of the national parks we visited on our road trip. Grand Canyon is obviously the most famous and it is indeed spectacular, but there is something quite magical about Bryce Canyon because it just looks so unreal – a bit like something you’d find at Disney Land in fact. The park itself is easy to explore and very much worth a visit. We stayed just outside the park at the entrance where there is a little village with two hotels, a restaurant, a couple of shops and some other useful amenities such as a petrol station and post office.

Its one of those secret places your friends tell you about and you know you have to go there. Bryce Canyon is just that. Its more astounding than the Grand Canyon and its not got the bustle of tourist you find in Arizona. Bryce's main amphitheatre contains the largest number and variety of hoodoos. There are some breath taking view points accessible by car or you can follow one of the foot trails if you have brought your walking boots, which I would recommend you take. Sunrise Point is one of the four major view points over looking the stunning geological wonders, definately one for lovers at ... more
