Bryce Canyon Tours & Tickets

Bryce Canyon contains over 10 million hoodoos (tall, thin spires of rock), the largest concentration of these geological formations on Earth.

The rim of Bryce Canyon sits at 9,000+ feet elevation, making it one of the highest plateaus in Utah and resulting in significantly cooler temperatures than surrounding areas.

Bryce Canyon was named after Ebenezer Bryce, an early Mormon settler who called it 'a hell of a place to lose a cow,' yet it became a national park in 1928.

The park is designated an International Dark Sky Park due to exceptionally clear night skies, offering some of the best stargazing in the southwestern United States.

Bryce Canyon's hoodoos are primarily composed of sedimentary rocks from the Claron Formation, which displays colors ranging from cream and pink to orange and red due to iron oxide deposits.

Winter snowfall at Bryce Canyon transforms the landscape dramatically, with snow clinging to the hoodoos and creating stunning contrast photography conditions.
