Bryce Canyon National Park had always been on my bucket list. From the moment we arrived, surrounded by towering red spires and cool mountain air, we knew we were somewhere truly special.
Sunrise and Sunset Magic
We started and ended our day at two of the park’s most iconic spots: Sunrise Point and Sunset Point. The soft morning glow made the hoodoos look like they were catching fire, glowing in hues of gold and orange. At sunset, the canyon shifted into deep reds and purples, each moment more breathtaking than the last.
Hiking the Queens Garden & Navajo Loop
The Queens Garden and Navajo Loop trail combo was our favorite hike. Descending into the canyon, we were surrounded by tall, slender rock formations that twisted and turned in the most unexpected ways. The switchbacks on the Navajo side were steep but exciting. Sometimes, we paused just to take in the towering walls and natural arches.
Scenic Drive with Every Stop Worth It
One of the best ways to see Bryce was driving through it. The scenic drive took us from one incredible overlook to another. Each viewpoint felt unique. We took our time to savor the quiet beauty all around us.
Bryce Canyon is a place that invites you to pause, breathe and notice the quiet details: The changing light, the rustle of wind between rocks or the sound of your own footsteps. This is truly one of my favorite places I’ve discovered in my journey exploring new lands.
