Bryce’s original inhabitants, the Paiutes, believed that the rock figures here were people turned to stone by angry gods. Delicately colored spires, fins, and mazes haunt our imagination and beckon us to explore them more closely.
Hiking and horseback trails wind through the Park, both along the rim and down amongst the towering rock formations called “hoodoos.” There is an optional shuttle system available that connects all major natural amphitheaters along the eastern rim (recommended); private vehicles are allowed in the park year-round. Evening rodeos, flight-seeing, mountain biking, cross country skiing trails on outskirts of Park.
