Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a National Park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its unique geology, which consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The erosional force has shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called hoodoos.
Note: The tour is over 60 miles long, with more than 30 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included2: Bryce Canyon Visitor CenterEmbark on this epic adventure through Bryce Canyon National Park just before the Visitor Center.

Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a National Park in 1924.
NOTE: The tour is over 20+ miles long per tour, with more than 50+ audio stories per tour, and takes about 2-3 hours per tour to complete.2 hours -Admission Ticket Not Included2: Bryce Canyon Visitor CenterEmbark on this epic adventure through Bryce Canyon National Park just before the Visitor Center. As we begin the drive, we'll learn about how the canyon got its namesake and about the original Paitue people who called this land home.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free3: Fairyland PointOur first detour is at the breathtaking Fairyland Point. This overlook offers a great sneak peek at everything Bryce Canyon contains: sweeping vistas, sheer cliffs, and, of course, the world-famous hoodoos!5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free4: Sunrise PointOur next stop is one of the most famous in the entire park: Sunrise Point. From this vantage point, we'll see unique, picturesque rock formations spread out in front of us and a plethora of natural trails leading into the vast, alient landscape.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free5: Bryce AmphitheaterOur self-guided driving tour continues around the famous Bryce Amphitheatre! The canyon curves around in the shape of a giant semicircle and dips far below our feet.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free6: Sunset PointOur drive brings us to another striking vista point overlooking the Bryce Amphitheatre: Sunset Point. Here, as we gaze out over the implausible shapes below us, we'll learn about the science behind their formations and understand what, exactly, makes a hoodoo. We'll explore the impact of geology and erosion over a monumental time scale, hoping to understand how such a incredible landscape came into existence.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free7: Inspiration PointWe continue our self-guided tour deeper into Bryce Canyon, towards Inspiration Point. As we drive, we learn about the Paiute people and their mythologies. They had their own explanation for the uniqueness of this landscape and the origins of Bryce's famous hoodoos.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free8: Bryce PointThis brings us to Bryce Point, which offers one of the most scenic vistas of the full amphitheater. Bryce Point is also famous for its extraordinary sunrises. From here you can watch the tops of hoodoos set alight as if by fire from the first rays of the rising sun. Like fire, the orange light quickly spreads driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. As we drive here, we'll learn about the Mormon settlers who followed the Paitue and tried to eke out a living in this unforgiving climate.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free9: Paria ViewOur self-guided tour continues to Paria View, where we see the effects of a centuries-old glacier. As the earth warmed about 12,000 years ago, the last ice age came to an end. As the enormous glaciers which covered the American continent melted, all that new water had to go somewhere. Answer: down the canyon!5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free10: Swamp Canyon OverlookNow our drive takes us into the lesser-trafficked part of the park. As we drive to Swamp Canyon Overlook, we'll learn about a famous local: Butch Cassidy! We'll learn all about Butch, Sundance, and the difference between fact and fiction as we continue the self-guided tour.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free11: Farview PointOur next stop is at Farview Point. Its not just the elevation that allows for such incredible views here -- the land here also offers something becoming increasingly rare in todays world. Can you guess what it is? Clean air! That's helped along by the abundance of bristlecone pines here, which are the Earth's oldest trees.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free12: Natural BridgeThe self-guided tour passes by Natural Bridge next, which features unusual arches and formations -- in case we weren't already amazed by the hoodoos of the amphitheatre!10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free13: Bryce Canyon RoadAt Agua Canyon two prominent hoodoos command attention. On the left, is the taller of the two towers, "The Hunter." To the right, the "Rabbit". Neither look anything like a hunter or rabbit though! As we drive on, we'll learn about rabbits, deer, and other wildlife of Bryce. We'll also understand what tricks they use to survive the scorching hot summers and deeply freezing winters.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free14: Ponderosa CanyonThis brings us to Ponderosa Point, from which you can see the parks iconic junipers sprawling out into the distance. We're now driving into the deepest recesses of Bryce Canyon National Park.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free15: Black Birch CanyonOur self-guided drive continues towards Black Birch Canyon Overlook. As we drive, we'll learn all about the night sky and opportunities for amateaur astronomy while you're here. The stargazing at Bryce is unparalleled.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free16: Rainbow PointFinally, we reach the farthest overlooks inside Bryce Canyon: Rainbow and Yovimpa. From here, you can see nearly everything in Bryce Canyon -- the quintessential hoodoos, the verdant basin, the sheer cliffs. You can even see that you're on the top step of the incredibly massive "Grand Staircase" -- a geologic structure "stepping down" all the way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free17: Red CanyonThat arch up ahead and its twin a little ways down the road are the Red Canyon Arches. These might look a little like natural arches, but theyre actually made by people. Workers tunneled through solid rock here in 1914 to make room for the road. Since then, these have become a sort of gateway to the beautiful expanse of Bryce Canyon.
10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free18: Zion National ParkZion National Park is a southwest Utah nature preserve distinguished by Zion Canyons steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through its main section, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. The river flows to the Emerald Pools, which have waterfalls and a hanging garden. Also along the river, partly through deep chasms, is Zion Narrows wading hike.2 hours -Admission Ticket Not Included19: Springdale Visitor CenterWelcome to Zion National Park! This raw landscape has it all: staggering mountain peaks, stunning natural pools, and gorgeous vistas. Well explore it all today.
10 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included20: Zion Canyon Visitor CenterContinue straight. Just before the bridge, youll see a path on the left. Thats the start of the Parus Trail. And just after the bridge is another path -- the Watchman Trail. Both are popular hikes with great views at the end.15 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included21: Zion Human History MuseumWhile we dont know too much about those Ice Age hunters, newer residents left their stories behind. Around 300 BCE, people started settling down here and farming. They grew squash and corn, and gradually learned how to better cultivate the land and survive the unforgiving climate. One group, the Fremont, cultivated a drought- and cold-resistant species of corn which could thrive even at high altitudes.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included22: Canyon Junction BridgeWere almost at Canyon Junction Bridge. Theres a lot going on there:
First, its a great sunset spot. Be sure to come back here later.
Second, there are great views of the Watchman and other mountains. If you find parking, take it and listen to the Learn More stories about the peaks.
Third, this is where the road splits:
Turn left if you want to drive along the Scenic Road and visit the Narrows, Angels Landing, or the Emerald Pools.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included23: Zion Canyon Scenic DriveWhew, what a view! Those three mountains are the iconic Court of the Patriarchs. And who are these patriarchs?
Well, a local Christian minister named them after three figures from the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from left to right.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Free24: Zion National Park LodgeThe park service works hard to keep this place as natural and untouched as possible while simultaneously handling over 4 million visitors each year. But that wasnt the case in the early 1900s. No one knew about this place and that meant no revenue... and that meant development.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included25: Emerald PoolsFirst, bring lots of water! You may think youve got enough but you probably dont. This might seem obvious, but Utahs heat is unforgiving, and heat-stroke or sun-stroke can easily ruin a fun vacation.
Second, make sure you dont overtax yourself! Hiking around here is going to be more difficult than you might be used to, thanks to the elevation. Be sure you dont embark on journeys youre not certain youll be able to finish.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included26: Angel's LandingThis park has a ton of great trails, but Angels Landing stands in a league of its own. Those who complete the hike describe it as a breathtaking experience like no other, offering impossible views and a major adrenaline rush.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included27: The Grotto Picnic Areahis spot offers picnic tables, restrooms, and fire grates. But the surrounding trails are the main attraction!15 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included28: Weeping Rock TrailA continuous stream of water trickles down its face from a stream far above5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included29: Big Bend ViewpointAs we round the Big Bend of the Virgin River, well approach the last viewpoint on this drive. Stop there for magnificent views of the Great White Throne and the towering peak of Angels Landing.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included30: Temple of SinawavaTo see the Narrows, youll want to follow the paved Riverwalk all the way to the end. Its a flat, easy walk, full of beautiful greenery and towering natural skyscrapers. But before you set off, lets talk about the Temple of Sinawava.15 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included31: The East TempleThat towering summit ahead is the East Temple, standing at 1,700 feet. Notice how the cliff isnt all one color? Youve probably seen this on the other rock faces as well. Thats because these cliffs are actually made of rock from a bunch of different eras in the earths history.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free32: Zion Scenic Drive ViewpointAt the next hairpin turn, youll see a pull off. If theres room, stop there for some incredible views. While stopped, click on Learn More to hear why the Mormons called this place Zion.10 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included33: The Zion-Mount Carmel TunnelMake sure to turn on those headlights -- because the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel is just ahead! Once inside, you might be tempted to stop and take photos, but youll have to resist the urge: stopping is strictly prohibited.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free34: Canyon Overlook TrailThe Canyon Overlook Trail is one of East Zions finest -- even though its short and easy. Why? Simple -- the spectacular views from the top.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included35: Altar of SacrificeIf you look closely at the Altar of Sacrifice, youll notice that its got streaks of rusty red running down the sides. Early Mormon pioneers saw this and thought it looked like blood spilling from a sacrificial altar. Of course, theres a much less gruesome explanation.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Free36: Checkerboard MesaLook at that mesa rising into the sky. Notice anything peculiar? As you get closer, you should be able to make out a strange grid of criss-crossed lines all over it. It looks a bit like a checkerboard, which is how it gets the name Checkerboard Mesa!5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included37: East Entrance Ranger StationWere at the East Ranger Station, which means weve reached the end of our tour. I hope youve enjoyed learning about the formation of this majestic place and all the people whove lived here over the millennia.
