Welcome to the Lodge at Bryce Canyon

View Photo Gallery

Designated a National Monument in 1923 by President Warren G. Harding and then a National Park in 1928, Bryce Canyon National Park covers 37,277 acres of colorful rock formations creating a unique scenic wonderland in the high-desert of Southern Utah.

Words don't convey an adequate conception of the fantasy and beauty of Bryce Canyon. The canyon must seen to be completely realized. From the countless variety of forms in the canyon it would seem that the imagination of some titanic sculptor had cut into the soft limestone carving every figure and shape known to or dreamed of by man.

Bryce Canyon's clear and dark night skies make star gazing a favorite activity for visitors of all ages.

Domes, spires and temples are predominating, and are decorated in all the colors of the spectrum but with reds, pinks and creams predominating throughout the landscape. Hoodoos, the grotesque, eerie and often whimsical spires jutting from the terrain are gallantly on display throughout the horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters. The views of Bryce Canyon provide visitors a "Far View" from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah.

Enjoy the amazing views from the 13 scenic outlooks over the amphitheaters, or hike along one of the eight trails. The air at Bryce Canyon is so clear that on most days from Yovimpa and Rainbow points you can see Navajo Mountain and Arizona's Kaibab Plateau some 90 miles away.

Settle down in one of The Lodge at Bryce Canyon's guest rooms or rustic cabins, and take in one of the darkest night skies in North America - where thousands of stars twinkle overhead.

Welcome to The Lodge at Bryce Canyon. We hope you enjoy your time in one of America's most unique National Parks.
