A visitor's centre is situated inside the park to give holidaymakers an overview of the National Park, its facilities, history and natural landscape.

Bryce Canyon activities

Bryce Canyon holidays offer a wide variety of outdoor activities. Hiking and rock climbing are very popular among visitors. Holidaymakers should heed trail difficulty levels and stick to options that are suitable for them. There are plenty of easier trails available for beginner hikers or people who are travelling with children, such as the Rim Trail, which offers views of the park's characteristic hoodoo formations. More adventurous visitors can try out strenuous trails such as Riggs Spring Loop. Visitors can also take horse riding tours through the park. These do not require any previous experience and can be an excellent way to see the park's amphitheatre and hoodoo formations. Although the park is popular in the summertime, it has a lot to offer in the winter as well, including winter hiking, snowshoeing, and stargazing at the visitor's centre.
