Visiting Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon is one of the places you can not miss when visiting Utah. It is located in its southern part. Although it is much smaller than the nearby bigger brother of the “Grand Canyon”, the views are also great.
This spectacular hole in the ground is not really a real canyon because the flowing river did not hollow it. It was created as a result of erosion and acid rain. There is a high daily temperature amplitude in this region. Water entering the sandstone fissures at night under the influence of a drop in temperature freezes and explodes. In this way spectacular rock formations are created. On the way to the canyon we can admire the full spectacular rock formations of the Dixie National Forest.

Visiting Bryce Canyon – Practical Information
Bryce Canyon National Park is perfectly organized like most parks in the USA. At the entrance you get a map and folder with information about the park and activities that you can cultivate in it. You can visit yourself by moving your own cars or a free bus that goes along all the viewpoints.
Sunset Point
If you have more time, you can go down into the canyon. Routes are not very demanding and the average tourist should deal with them. In order to thoroughly explore the Park we need a whole day, but it takes no more than a few hours to visit the most important points. Bryce Canyon is best visited between May and September. Although nights and mornings are cool even in the summer.

Visiting Bryce Canyon-Accommodation
In the park there are two campsites: North Campground and Sunset Compound, both are equipped with barbecue areas, toilets and picnic tables. On both of them you can pitch a tent and park your RV. The only hotel in the Park is The Lodge at Bryce Canyon. It is located 5 minutes from the edge of the canyon and despite the lack of wifi, air conditioning and TV, he has to pay dearly for the accommodation.
