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.

Western USA National Parks Loop

Anandita · Traveled September 2024

This was my first trip with Intrepid and needless to say, loved every bit of it! We had a fantastic group and our group leader Chris was phenomenal. The itinerary was perfect and the stops were very well planned. The only feedback I have - Antelope canyon should be included in the itinerary and not optional. Also, the last day with monument valley and Grand Canyon could use a hike instead of just a walk. Everything else was 10/10

Zion Glamping Adventure

Sandy · Traveled September 2024

We did the Zion Glamping Adventure. Our leader Travis was awesome. He took us to many fabulous places for hiking and site seeing. We loved the Covered Wagons for sleeping. They were adorable and the beds were awesome. Transporting us in the large van made it spacious and comfortable for traveling. I would highly recommend this trip. I am 60 yrs old and not your top notch in physical condition and I did fine with all the hikes. The fresh air, scenery and great people filled my soul.

This is great trip to experience the natural wonders of Utah and Arizona. Each stop gets better and better and starting and finishing in vegas is a great location to get to and from.

LA to Vegas: Grand National Parks

Victoria · Traveled September 2024

I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who is interested in exploring the National Parks. It was well planned and the day hikes were fabulous. I learnt a lot about the Navajo who are the guardians of some of the parks and about the Geology too. Great variety, comfortable accommodation and everything was as it said in the trip notes.
