    The Toadstool Hoodoos are cool rock formations formed by differential erosion. They look like…read moremushrooms, as the harder rock caps and protects the softer rock underneath. The hike is an easy 1.5 miles. The views at the end are worth it, and you can get close to the rock formations as you like (although don't topple the rocks!). It's suitable for families with small children. If you don't mind driving on an unpaved road (I did it in a 2WD sedan), check out House Rock Valley Road for unparalleled views of the landscape with swirling sandstone, painted hills, and other cool rock formations. Check out the Wire Pass Trail for amazing slot canyons, although check the weather. If there's any chance for rain, do not enter the slot canyons since the formations channel water and form deadly floods in the canyon.

    This feels like a review in progress because the area is so large - but was pleasantly surprised by…read morehow much more I want to explore this region. We did Willis Creek Narrows and Lower Calf Creek Falls - both incredible. Now adding to the wish list for return trips. The drive along US 12 is just spectacular. Definitely recommend a high clearance vehicle with 4WD to access some of the more remote locations. Be prepared to adventure and bring what you need as this is not a manicured national park, but more a haven for those looking for an off-grid escape.

    Every viewpoint in the park is A1. That said, I do think Bryce Point is the best one - and the rest…read more(inspiration point, sunrise/sunset point, fairyland point) are all pretty similar. You get a stunning view over the hoodoos and the canyon regardless of where you are, but I think this spot offers the most "expansive" vantage. It also has the most info signs along the short walk to the view point (it's like 100 feet long, pretty short). There is a small parking lot, i had no trouble finding a spot but there were only a few available. There is a lot of turnover here though since it isn't a hike, you just go and look/take pics and leave. Definitely recommend this spot if you only have a chance to go to one overlook!!

    Simply breathtaking! The Bryce Point overlook is not be missed. There are tons of wonderful vista…read morepoints within Bryce Canyon National Park, but Bryce Point provides a view like no other. 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.

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.
