With 360 degree panoramic views of the natural hoodoos at 8,300 feet of elevation, Bryce Point provides some of the best views that you'll be able to see within the park. I'm talking jaw dropping ladies and gents! The natural hoodoo amphitheater literally surrounds this very viewpoint. Bryce Point is also the starting and ending point for several popular hiking trails including the Rim Trail. This is very popular landmark as you can imagine, and it can get pretty busy. Despite this, there's plenty of parking and lots of space for to take pictures or just to simply enjoy the view. There's a paved walkway that will lead you all the way down to the vista point area. It gets SUPER windy down there! In the summertime, the wind feels perfect. But, I can imagine that it would be freezing during the spring and winter. Hold on to your hats and phones because it can definitely get blustery. Everything about Bryce Point is amazing. If you're making a visit out to Bryce Canyon, make sure to make a stop at Bryce Point before you leave.

Most southerly overlook of the four -- majestic views!…read more I don't recall setting foot and seeing the views from this rim the first time we came to Bryce Canyon [2012]. It took us a third try to be able to drive in, find parking and actually walk to the view point. Parking is controlled by the park rangers and when the parking spots are filled to its capacity they close off the entrance so no one can get in until some cars leave. The view point is just a short walk from the parking lot. Bryce Point is part of the Bryce Amphitheater which is the first three miles of the park. Naturally, people would crowd these spots first when entering the park since the most iconic and popular views are found along the rim. It was super windy here so hold on to your hats, personal belongings and your toupee! There are a couple of hiking trails found here but we were just up for the views and, indeed, they are spectacular. It is a popular spot to watch the sunrise. We saw amazing hoodoo formations and cliffs from the rim of the amphitheater. It was our last stop as we were getting exhausted from visits to the other view points earlier in the day but, if interested, these two trails can be found here at Bryce Point. These are definitely not our level as they are labeled "strenuous" 1] Peekaboo Loop [5-1/2 miles] - steep and most of the hike is spent below the rim. Estimate 3-4 hours at 1571 feet elevation. 2] Bryce Amphitheater Traverse [4.7 miles] - descend from Bryce Point and ascend to Sunrise Point. Estimate 3-4 hours at 1010 feet elevation. Review #1810

There were so many people because it is so easy to walk down the trail and see so many unique rock structures. There is a railing you can hold onto to go down the trail so it's not too bad if it's covered with snow. There are pretty big restrooms and it's stocked well. I'd suggest to arrive early to avoid the traffic of cars waiting to park. Beautiful place to enjoy the sunset without even having to hike if you're not up for it.

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.

Another amazing spot!…read more The Bryce Canyon area was named after a homesteader named Ebenezer Bryce who moved to the area in 1874. Bryce Canyon and the area around it was originally designated as a national monument by President Harding in 1923 and 5 years later re-designated as a national park by the Congress. Farview Point is one of the scenic stops along UT-63. When you stop there, make sure to take a short hike to Privacy Point and get your camera working! The view is amazing, but many people do not take the time. Don't be one of them! :-)

The Two Bridges trail from Sunset Point is the best way to view and access the hammer up close! On Nov 27, 2021, it was approximately 47degF. Pretty good walking/hiking weather if you ask me! Our 10-min trek down the red dirt path was a piece of cake. Thor's Hammer is a spectacular site amongst all the other hoodoo's in the amphitheater. The trail continues on, but no need to go farther if you just want to see the hammer. Walking back up the trail? Now that's another story. Between the elevation and incline, it may take you more than 10-minutes to return to the plateau. Just take your time and soak in the incredible views of Bryce Canyon!
