Paria View is a beautiful and quieter viewpoint in Bryce Canyon National Park. It’s easily accessible by car and offers stunning views of the park’s signature hoodoos and red rock formations. Compared to some of the more popular spots like Sunrise or Sunset Point, Paria View tends to be less crowded, which makes it a peaceful stop to take in the scenery.
It’s also one of the few viewpoints in the park that faces west, making it a great spot to catch the sunset when the light hits the canyon walls just right.

If you have little ones, this is the view to see. Most of the cliff is fenced off, except one small section, so please still be watchful. It's also less busy than some of the more popular viewpoints, but still has some spectacular sights.

Kind of a cool little off the main track canyon. Its smaller and more intimate than the larger Bryce Canyon. Still gorgeous and you can see out towards the Grand Stair Case and Lake Powell in the distance

The views at this overlook are quite nice, though perhaps not as nice as its closest neighbor Bryce Point. Still absolutely worth seeing, especially considering it isn't nearly as far from the entrance as some of the other viewpoints like Rainbow Point and Natural Bridge.

Cool place to see. Road is closed in winter up to the sight so you will need snow boots to get up there. Worth the views.

Wonderful views in a great National Park. The scenic drive is awesome and gives a great overview of the entire park. This park is not describable in words, you must go and enjoy in person.

Great view. A lot less busy than the main parts of the national park (Bryce point, lower inspiration point,sunset point) Although those parts of the parks offer different types of views. I definitely recommend going and seeing this viewpoint as well as others on the southern part of the park.

I really loved this viewpoint that Bryce National Park. I would definitely recommend to anybody taking the scenic drive to stop here and takes some photos. This is a very different view where you can see more of the forest side with the canyon. From my experience, you don't see much of this view when you do the trails. There is a parking lot and I suggest visiting in the early morning or late afternoon. I visited around 3pm. There is probably about a 0.1 - 0.2 walk to the actually overlook which is all flat with railings. Paria View is a stopping point for you!

Paria view is located off the same access road as Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. The other/ points look out at the amphitheater, whereas this view looks the opposite direction. As such, it is not as crowded as the other 2 viewpoints. Just a parking lot here. No services and no shuttle bus stop.
In the field bordered by Paria View Road and the main road- one of the best spots to spot pronghorns and prairie dogs.
