Southern Utah is full of wonderful scenery that attracts and captivates millions of visitors each year, from Bryce Canyon National Park to Scenic Byway 12, which provides easy access to a large section of this prime scenery. In fact, this roadway was named one of America's most scenic by Car and Driver magazine.

In 1875, Mormon settler Ebenezer Bryce came to the Paria Valley to live and to harvest timber along thecanyon rim. His neighbors began to refer the canyon behind his home as Bryce's Canyon. In 1924, national legislation was written which gave Bryce Canyon official National Park status as Utah National Park. Later in 1928 the provisions of the 1924 legislation were properly met and the park name was changed to Bryce Canyon National Park.

Scenic Byway 12 begins as it intersects US Highway 89 near Red Canyon and continues east and eventually north to Highway 24 near Torrey. While it is only 124 miles long, the byway spans an area with eight designated nature areas including three national parks, three state parks, a national recreation area, and a national monument.

Two fantastic hiking trails, located within three miles of our cabins, offer a different perspective of Bryce Canyon National Park not found along the rim. The Tropic Trail, accessed at the end of Tropic's Bryce Way, provides a view of the colorful hoodoos of Bryce Canyon's main amphitheater from the bottom up, connecting to the popular Queen's Garden Trail and Navajo Trail. A short drive north of Tropic on UT 12 will take you to the Mossy Cave Trail, which runs along an irrigation ditch to a spectacular rock overhang fed by an underground spring. Only 15 minutes south, Kodachrome Basin State Park is full of enjoyable, short hiking trails that meander through colorful rock spires.
