When is the best time to visit Bryce Canyon?

There's no 'best' time to visit Bryce Canyon as each season offers something slightly different. Our trips run in the summer months between May and September when the weather is consistently warm and sunny — and perfect for exploring! The weather in spring and autumn can be unpredictable and nights are chilly, while winter sees freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall.

Best Bryce Canyon National Park Tours & Holidays 2023/2024

Discover a kaleidoscope of desert colours in Bryce Canyon.

Bryce Canyon might not be as famous as its Grand neighbour over in Arizona, but it’ll leave you in awe all the same. This epic national park is home to the world’s largest concentration of hoodoos (towering rock spires) which sprawl across a vast amphitheatre for as far as the eye can see. Get up close and personal with these unique rock structures on a guided hike down to the canyon floor, watch the hoodoos shift in colour with the setting sun, and maybe even live out a Wild West fantasy on a horseback ride through lesser-known parts of the park.

Bryce Canyon National Park highlights

Marvel at the hoodoos

        Often described as a ‘forest of stone’ and a ‘cave without a roof’, the hoodoos in Bryce Canyon are breathtaking. Sure, you might've seen similar formations in Turkey’s Cappadocia region or Australia’s Pinnacles Desert, but they're nothing like this. These towering spindles of red rock have been sculpted by millions of years of erosion, and each one is unique in shape, texture and colour — ranging from bright orange to rose pink.
      

Group hiking and along the trails of Bryce Canyon, Utah, on a clear day

Hit the trails

        Whether you're a seasoned hiker or prefer a scenic stroll, there's a trail for everyone at Bryce Canyon. Hit the Navajo Loop Trail which weaves past some of the park's most iconic hoodoos, enjoy the Fairyland Loop Trail for some of the most stunning views of the canyon or tackle the Queen's Garden Trail for a mix of easy and more challenging sections with steep climbs and rocky terrain.
      

Travellers watching the sunset over Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA

Watch a Bryce Canyon sunset

        If you think Bryce Canyon is spectacular during the day, just wait until you see it at golden hour. As the sun gradually sets over the desert, the light hits the sandstone spindles and illuminates them with a pink, red and orange glow. Even if you've seen a million sunsets before, there's a good chance this'll be one of the most impressive (and memorable) you've seen yet.

Zion Glamping Adventure

Erica · Traveled July 2024

This was my first trip with Intrepid and of this kind as a solo traveler but what a great first trip! The duration was perfect. We covered so much but it never felt too rushed. The accommodations in the wagon wheels are so fun that give it an authentic feel but still having A/C and private bathroom facilities. It was the perfect mix or leisure and challenge!
