Scenic Byway 12
Bryce Canyon National Park, UT

Open all year, Bryce Canyon National Park is the jewel of Scenic Byway 12. Located three miles south of Scenic Byway 12 on Hwy 63, the park rises to an elevation of 9,100 feet at its southern end.

Magnificent salmon, pink, and red colored pinnacles and spires can be seen from viewpoints along the pine-covered rim of Bryce's natural amphitheaters. There are more than 50 miles of hiking trails, plus interpretive tours and trail rides are available. The park has two campgrounds. Lodging is available in the park April through November, and outside the park year-round.

Winter is an excellent time to visit the park. There are no crowds and new recreational opportunities emerge. Annual events held in the Bryce Canyon area include the Winter Festival in February and the Rim Run in August.
