Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon is a forest of stone, a series of massive natural amphitheaters filled with thousands of intricate, colorful limestone spires called hoodoos. Hiking trails like the Navajo Loop and Queens Garden descend into the surreal landscape, offering up-close perspectives. The park's high elevation (8,000-9,000 feet) provides cool respite in summer and creates an International Dark Sky Park ideal for unparalleled stargazing. While smaller than neighboring parks, Bryce delivers a highly concentrated and unique geological spectacle.

Its otherworldly beauty, especially at sunrise and sunset, makes it an unforgettable and essential component of the Utah Mighty 5.
