Sunset Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sunset Point, as the name rightly describes, is a fantastic place to watch a sunset in Bryce Canyon National Park. From this vista you are treated to views of the Silent City, Thor's Hammer, and many of the other hoodoos (thin rock spires) which make up the spectacular rock formations in the canyon.

Lower Inspiration Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lower Inspiration Point is a fantastic spot over Bryce Amphitheater, with views of the dense clusters of hoodoos known as the Silent City. The short, unpaved trail from the parking area leads to a fenced overlook with sweeping views to the north. It’s a quieter alternative to the park’s busier viewpoints and is especially stunning at sunrise or after dark under the starry sky.

Inspiration Point, Bryce Canyon National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Inspiration Point consists of three different viewpoints: the Lower, Middle, and Upper. Each of the viewing areas gives a different vantage point as you work your way up in elevation. The vistas look out over the Silent City and Boat Mesa, giving spectacular views of the hoodoos in the canyon. All of the viewpoints can be found on the Rim Trail.

Rim Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park

Highlight • Trail

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.

Sunrise Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located just a short walk from the parking area, Sunrise Point offers absolutely stunning views into Bryce Canyon. The area is aptly named for being a fantastic spot to view the sunrise, as the eastern facing cliff faces catch the early morning rays and glow in various shades of reds and oranges. From the viewpoint you will look out on to Boat Mesa and Sinking Ship, both iconic hoodoos in the National Park.
