See Bryce Canyon before stepping foot in the park!

Did you know you could see pictures and learn about Bryce Canyon National Park’s scenery before your visit? The park website features a virtual tour that includes descriptions and photos of the park’s major scenic areas. It includes stops along the park’s 18-mile scenic drive, including Swamp Canyon, Farview, Agua Canyon, Ponderosa Canyon and Rainbow and Yovimpa points, the southernmost stops on the drive. The virtual tour also highlights Paria View and Natural Bridge. Paria View features hoodoos that face the setting sun, a rarity within the park. Carved from some of the reddest sandstone of the Claron Formation, Natural Bridge’s hues provide a stark contrast to the evergreen forests surrounding it.
