Everything You Need to Know About Bryce Canyon Sunset Point

Go Hiking

Bryce Canyon National Park is home to quite a few trails of varying difficulty. With the family in tow, you will definitely want to check out the Sunset Point to Sunrise Point Trail, which is part of the Rim Trail. The walk between the two points is paved and the views are worth the walk. Just one mile from the Visitors Center, the Bryce Canyon Sunset Point can get pretty busy, so be prepared for a small crowd during prime viewing times.
From the trail, you will be able to see the rock formations known as Thor's Hammer and Silent City.

Check out the Bryce Canyon Visitors Center

Before your hike, be sure to stop by the Visitors Center. Get all of your questions answered at the help desk, watch a 22-minute film on the hour and half hour, or shop for a souvenir at the book store. There are even exhibits and a prairie dog maze.
