    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.

    I didn't have a ton of time to explore here but simply driving by left quite an impression on me!…read moreWOW. I'm not exaggerating when I say I pulled off the road maybe every 50 feet because every new angle provided a new exciting view of this vast and beautiful stone monument. In general this is a HUGE monument to explore and I'm not sure you could even scratch the surface on a simple vacation, let alone during a road trip. I've since come to learn that this area was the last part of the lower 48 states to be cartographed and, according to the Bureau of Land Management, it spans five life-zones - from low-lying desert to coniferous forest, and paleontologists have unearthed countless dinosaur bones and fossils from within its canyons and deserts. Truly incredible stuff, here! But don't let the size and scope intimidate you. As I said, even driving by or taking a day or afternoon to explore is worth the journey. It's an incredible resource that we're lucky to have here in the US.

    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.

    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

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.
