The Rim Trail encircles the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater and gives spectacular views into the canyon. The trail is 5.5 miles in length, starting at Fairyland Point in the north and extending to Bryce Point farther south in the park. There are many benches located along the path for a quick stop to enjoy a picnic while taking in some of the greatest views on this planet.

The amphitheater is the main attraction in Bryce Canyon. It is bordered by the lookout points Sunset Point and Sunrise Point. From these points you can walk on the canyon reason. Here you can enjoy the Queens Garden Trail and the Navajo Trail.

Bryce Canyon National Park /ˈbraɪs/ is a National Park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
