Bryce Canyon National Park Sunrise Point

If you're allergic to the vast beauty of the world skip this. Stunning, empowering, awe-inspiring. Get up early, dress WARM, and grab a coffee and be ready for a view that will set your day up on a good foot. Completely worth it.

Sunrise Point is absolutely breathtaking! Even in hot weather, the views are nothing short of stunning. The hoodoos stretch out in every direction, forming an incredible landscape of towering, colorful rock formations. What makes this spot extra special is how accessible it is—you can take in jaw-dropping scenery right from the parking lot without a long hike. It’s the perfect place to just pause, soak in the beauty, and admire the unique shapes and textures of the canyon. A must-see stop in Bryce!

This National Park is beyond this world 🌎! I had the opportunity to visit this National Park, Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon National Park. I loved the three of them but this one captivated my heart every second I walked down the trails. It is like visiting another planet. I thought I was in Mars. I recommended everyone to visit it. You won't be dissapointed and will witness by yourself the magestic views it provides.

This is by far one of my favorite places to visit. The hoodoos are so neat. We visited all 5 national parks in Utah and Bryce Canyon and Natural Arches were amazing. So stunning. Plan ahead and take your time to explore. You will never forget seeing this sight.

The park is nice, even on a "quiet" day the park is too full, restaurants near the main hikes makes the parking even worse. Many people ignore the signs to keep off in some areas you notice the damage this caused. Hiking is partly more like a walking traffic jam then a hike. Due to the shutdown it was free, otherwise I would only recommend going early morning or late evening to avoid the masses.

I did what the park rangers recommended as ‘figure eight’ hike, starting at sunrise point, passing queens garden, through peek-a-boo loop and back via Wall Street and Navajo trail, totally 6.7 miles with about 1600 ft elevation gain but no technical difficulty. Very scenic and views were ever-changing. In between two o of the figure eight there were plenty of nice picnic spots. Definitely helps with a pair of grippy hiking shoes as you go down some deeper slopes. Very interesting tree configs created by the harsh environment along the trail.

The quick walk from the main parking lot isn't any worry and sunrise adds a bit more degrees of view out into the canyon. Its a nice panorama as you walk and look out. We even glimpsed a chipmunk go about its merry way and of course you see the folks out on the hike trekking down the worn footpaths.

Sunrise Point is about a half mile walk from Sunset Point. Both sit along the Rim trail within Bryce Canyon. The views from here and all around, for that matter, are out of this world! Park your car at Sunset Point and take the views in from both overlooks.
