Bryce Canyon is located on the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in south-central Utah, the United States.

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.

Bryce Canyon has a cooler climate than other national parks in Utah as it has an elevation of 2,438 metres. Summer sees average highs of 24-27°C, with July and August being the hottest months. July and August also see the highest rainfall and thunderstorms are frequent, though they usually occur in the afternoon and don't last too long. Winter is chilly with lows of -9°C in December and January and heavy snowfall across the park. The weather in spring and autumn varies, but it's typically mild during the day and chilly at night.

At a minimum, you'll need a sturdy pair of well-fitting hiking boots, a mixture of lightweight and warm layers (think shorts/leggings, t-shirts, a hoodie and warm pants), a water bottle or bladder, and a camera. We also recommend bringing a windproof jacket, a sun hat and a beanie for the evenings.

Before embarking on an active outdoor adventure, make sure to read the Essential Trip Information section of your itinerary for a better idea of what's provided and what you'll need to bring.
