Fascinating, incredible, breathtaking, relaxing, reflecting, awe inspiring, tranquility, soothing! That's not just referencing Bryce National Park, but Under Canvas Bryce Canyon compound in its entirety! This was our first time glamping, and I've got to say, not having to pitch your own tent, being able to stand upright in it, having your own shower, space to walk around in, toilet, seating, shower and sink, porch with chairs, with a real bed and not a sleeping bag makes for a great outdoor experience! Especially as you get older and you're looking for the outdoor experience without the drudgery, inconveniences and potential painstaking process. The DarkSky environment is also conducive to serenity, peace of mind and relaxation with an unadulterated view of the stars that's unimaginable until you experience it for yourself. Even more so, if you book the stargazing tent with an incredible clear canopy where when you rest your head on the pillow, looking up, and all you see are the galaxies in all its marvelous splendor, and then some! Here you don't count sheep, count the stars. With the amenities of dining on premises (pretty darn good food by the way), fire pits and s'mores, live music, hiking paths, it all builds up to be a wonderful adventure. Just a few minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park, Bryce Canyon City and Tropic, UT, gives you a chance to gas up, eat up and wander around these small towns. You're also a short distance from some of the most fantastic natural wonders Utah has to offer. Like Grand Staircase Escalante, Natural Bridge, Red Sands and more. All the amenities here are top notch, the concierge service is great, the service is fantastic, surprisingly fantastic meals and the staff are as excellent as you would find in any top-rated hotel. It's a fantastic hotel in nature and under the stars! Two words of advice, be aware you are going to be at about 8,000 feet above sea level, breathing does become a little more difficult, especially for us older folk and we with heart conditions - be aware of your limitations. And, as you approach Under Canvass' last few miles, watch for cattle, as all the area enroute to the site is free range, open grazing. That said, my wife and I had an extraordinary few days there, and we're happy with the experience. We definitely got turned on to the glamping experience - thankyou Under Canvass, for an outstanding job and such a marvelous time. read more
