Bryce Canyon National Park Sunset Point

Stunning. Magnificent. Majestic. Jaw dropping. Poetic. Mother Nature is truly the best artist.

This place has hoodoos like no other hoodoos place I’ve seen. Huge expanse as far as the eye could see. It’s so picturesque, words are unnecessary.

Somehow, the snow on the hoodoos made it even more poetic and beautiful. Everywhere I looked, it was photogenic at all angles. The sun was going down when we were there so the lighting was perfect.

Totally recommend this place!

I heard this place referred to as a hidden gem multiple times and I have to agree. The park is easy to navigate, trails well marked. I did the Navajo Loop and Queens Garden Trail which is about three miles and connects to the Sunset Point to Sunrise Point Trail . I opted to go during the off season which gave me less people and more solitude. I did need Micro spikes for the ice and snow, but it was totally fine. I recommend this place 100 percent! Go now! You won’t regret it .

Words cannot express the magnificence of this park. We drive in but use the shuttle as parking is scarce. Even off season there was plenty of hikers. Everyone was courteous and mindful of other hikers. Would love to have spent more time

Very beautiful point better than sunrise and gets better and better! We went in December and view with snow is amazing! We started Navajo queens lop here and went down hill in the canyon and came up to sunrise point. It was a nice trail! Even the lookout at sunset is very beautiful. Trail makes you feel the real canyon!

Try and get here earlier to get a parking spot. We had no problems when we got here for sunrise but there were a lot of cars looking for parking when we left at lunch time. It is gorgeous for sunrise in this area.

It's one of the most spectacular places you'll ever see. It's a 2 hour drive from Zion. You can't visit Zion National Park and not visit Bryce Canyon. You just need to spend a day there. The town on the way was pretty cool too

Bryce Canyon National Park is an absolute marvel of nature! From the breathtaking hoodoos to the stunning vistas, every corner of this park is a photographer's dream. Hiking through the intricate maze of trails offers a sense of adventure and awe-inspiring beauty at every turn. Sunrise and sunset paint the sky with colors so vivid they seem almost surreal. The park's ranger-led programs provide valuable insights into its geology and wildlife. Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking solace in the great outdoors, Bryce Canyon National Park is a must-visit destination that will leave you utterly spellbound.

Beautiful park that remains one of our favorite National Parks! Visiting in the winter provided a completely new perspective. The trails weren’t too crowded nor too icy though warm clothes, gloves and hiking boots are a must.

This is probably one of the best viewpoints in the park. Stunning! It was the last one we did but I could have spent the entire time here and been quite happy! Do not miss Sunset point! Do it and take pictures!

One of my favorite spots, even if I was unprepared for the cold and snow! We even saw a wedding proposal there. Beautiful park, especially when the sun rises up and lights it all up!

The visit to Bryce Canyon was a treat to watch. One must start very early in the morning if only one day is assigned else one could leisurely take 2 days to enjoy the place.
It may not be suitable for those who are wary of walking. Your visit truly starts with the information center where you are provided with every kind of information that you are interested in.
Do enquire in order to enjoy your trip onwards
There are many points of interest and you are provided with the map of the area. You essentially have to be on time to enjoy places like sunrise/ sunset points.
The poetry on the stone is written everywhere and you only have to choose which poetry that you are more interested in.
Inside the canyon you have all the amenities available at the regular intervals. To see the endangered prairie dogs was a n overwhelming experience.
In one line it is worth watching this at least once.

Bryce Canyon never disappoints. With the winter weather some rim trails were closed. Main visitor center open and worth a stop too. Dress in layers as temps vary and if you’re cold it detracts from just sitting and taking in the beauty of the park. We’ll be back soon.

The place is surreal for sunrise. Yes, sunrise. Don't be bamboozled by the name of the viewpoint. Going to the sunset point is a 5 min climb from the base of Navajo loop trail with amazing sunrise view, try reaching 30 mins prior to sunrise, to experience the best view.

100% must do bucket list park. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing here! I'd pick bryce over grand canyon anytime!

I feel like $35 is kind of a lot to get into the park. That being said, it was gorgeous. We were with family members who used a wheelchair and had some kids in strollers, so we didn't stay too long because the hikes were not appropriate, but we were able to take in some fantastic views. Next time I go, I will try some the hikes, then maybe $35 won't be so bad.

By far the best spot in Bryce Canyon National Park. You must visit this area. There's a decent amount of parking around here, but be prepared to find it all full. This is where a lot of trails begin, including the famous Navajo loop trail.

Awesome view of the park! The sunset you are going to get here in July is just the light hitting the canyon. The sun sets the opposite direction. Absolutely beautiful to stop here and do the little hike between sunrise and sunset peak!

Amazingly beautiful, other worldly views! A must see place. Excellent hiking trails are available or short drives and easy walks to multiple viewpoints of the Canyon.

We visited nearly all of the places to drive to and did many of the hikes. The Sunrise Trail was more difficult but one of our favorites. It had lots of people on it but lots of places to stop and take pictures but it has a lot of elevation change. The visitors center was very nice and the video showcasing the park. Some of our favorite places were Inspiration Point with its amazing view. The Bristlecone Loop was also very peaceful with little elevation change at the end of the day. We visited the Ranger talk at the Grand Lodge in the evening which was very informative. The sunset from Sunset Point did not materialize. We saw several deer, lots of birds 🐦 and chipmunks. The many stop off points along the drive showed a variety of stunning views. The Hoodoos are out of this world and as one visitor said it was like being in a huge ant farm. One spectacular view after another. We did partial hikes to get below the rim in several points and it is advisable to try to view the sites as close up as possible. Drink lots of water though and enjoy.

Did the Fairyland Loop trail and must say, wow. The tracker said it was just over 8 miles and, despite the midday heat, it felt shorter. Every turn had something new and/or different to look at. Hoodoos galore, naturally. Just bring water. October is starting to be the slower season, so we only encountered a few folks once we diverged from the rim trail portion.

Oh, and if nobody has ever told you, don't forget to stop and smell the...ponderosa pines. Seriously. Put your nose to the bark (check for bugs first) and take a sniff. They smell like butterscotch.

Parking was pretty limited at the Fairyland trailhead. Since it's a loop you can also park at Sunrise Point and jump right on the loop from there, or go down to Sunset point and walk about 1/2 mile back to Sunrise Point. Sunset Point has facilities, Fairyland does not.
