This is perfect point to overlook Bryce Canyon NP, I once again marveled at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. The crumbling rocks stand tenaciously, and the wrinkles washed out by wind and rain seem to tell the vicissitudes of ages. Against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, the ochre-colored rocks are just beautiful. So far so good. We decided to hike the Two Bridges from Sunset Point first. Although the trail was short, the switchbacks on the steep hill trigger my unrecovered thigh soreness from Angels Landing climb. After a short break at noon, I hiked to the Queens Garden from Sunrise Point. Unexpectedly, the weather changed suddenly on the way, the temperature dropped very quickly, and the snow started to drift. I temporarily changed the plan and went through the loop from Sunrise Point to Sunset Point. Finding Victoria Queen hoodoo in the wind and snow, walking through the various stone forests, is also a different experience. There were only few cars left when we returned to the once crowded parking lot. Next morning we came to Sunrise Point to watch the sunrise, the warm morning light illuminates the stone forest making them looks translucent. The local Indian tribe is Navajo. According to their legend, Coyote will petrify people with bad deed into sculptures here.

From Bryce Point, one of the most scenic vistas of the full amphitheater and all its wonders amaze the visitor, and it's the best place to start your day. Bryce Point is famous for its extraordinary sunrises. From here you can watch the tops of hoodoos set alight as if by fire from the first rays of the rising sun. Like fire, the orange light quickly spreads driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. We are also reminded of the canyon's namesake, Ebenezer Bryce, who settled in the valley just below the canyon in 1870. Bryce was a shipbuilder who journeyed west with Brigham Young and the Mormon pioneers to assist in the construction of buildings essential to community life throughout the new land. Bryce lived here for only five years, but in that time, the canyon became known as Bryce's canyon to the people who knew him. Ebenezer Bryce was a pragmatic man, constructing roads to facilitate lumber transport and surveying the route for a 10-mile irrigation ditch from the top of the plateau to the valley that would later lead to larger, more permanent settlements. If he had romantic ideas concerning the land on which he struggled to survive, they are lost in history. All he is known to have said concerning this striking scene behind his home is, "It's a hell of a place to lose a cow.

You will probably get the best views here over all the other view points. If you only have time for one, make this one of the one view points to see. You will see as far as the eye can see. It's really cool and with unbelievable atmosphere that changes as the sun passes by. If you take a pictures the morning and take the same picture in the afternoon, you will have 2 different but still amazing pictures. As cool as it is, I think that the Grand Canyon is still my top pick. But it's still something that you should do at least once.

Bryce Point is the furthest SE spot to view the Amphitheater area. It is a walk from the parking lot or a long trail from Inspiration Point. Well worth getting to for the views and about the best place to see hikers and horse riders on the trails below. The town of Tropic is also visible here.

Such majestic view. All the bulbous columns called hoodoos are so majestic. Saw on the left side at the point looks like cathedral windows.

Worth going to the end of the park road for the views: Family friendly place to take photos. There…read moreis also a shaded seating area set back from the railing where you can still get some views.

One of the most stunning vista points within Bryce Canyon National Park! 360-degree views of some…read moreof the most colorful hoodoos in the park! Yep... they don't call it Rainbow Point for nothin'! It's also the highest point within the park with an elevation of over 9,000 feet. You can only imagine how gorgeous the landscape it. The views are truly breathtaking here. It's a bit of a drive from the entrance and visitor center and the last big viewpoint that you'll reach along the scenic drive throughout the park. It's almost like saving the best for last really. However, it might make more sense to drive all the way to this viewpoint first and then make your way back down to the entrance. This will allow you to enjoy this vista without most of the crowds since most people will make this viewpoint their last stop. There are a few connecting trails that lead and pass through Rainbow Point as well, but you don't have to hike here to experience the views. It's a simple walk up a paved path with plenty of areas to admire the scenic panorama. The parking lot is fairly large and it wasn't too crowded on an early summer evening. The colorful hoodoos set amongst the vibrant blue skies and mountainous backdrop are totally worth the stop here.
