Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the great wonders of the world. We guarantee that you've never seen anything like it. The Bryce Canyon Country Cabins are located just one mile from the boundary of the National Park and only eleven miles from the main entrance. We are also located next to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, which is one of the newest National Monuments in America. |

Bryce Canyon is actually a series of amphitheaters cut into the Eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt plateau. The National Park ranges in elevation, along the rim, from approximately 8,000 feet to over 9,000 feet at the northern end of the park. The formations within Bryce Canyon National Park, called Hoodoos, are the creation of wind and water erosion over eons of time. The natural orange and red hues that color these formations are the result of iron oxidizing within the rock. Bryce Canyon National Park is truly one of the most spectacular scenic wonders in the world. Step down inside these canyons and you will feel as if you have entered another world. Hike into any one of the amphitheaters on a myriad of trails. There is an extensive system of trails in the main amphitheater near the visitor center. You can even start at the top and walk down through the park then conclude your hike at the town of Tropic. Ride Horseback or along the canyon rim with one of several different outfitters. Riding horseback is a safe and easy way to come back up to the rim. Remember that you will be hiking at elevations ranging between 7,500 and 9,000 feet so the horses can make the experience of going up-hill quite a bit easier. Fly via plane or helicopter around the park extremities. For those of you who want a thrill, this is one incredible way to see more of the park and to get up close to some of the large hoodoo formations in the outer regions of the park. Ride an ATV. While you can not ride a mechanized vehicle on trails in the park, you can take an ATV or even a mountain bike into some areas such as Red Canyon where the formations are identical to the park. Don't hesitate to stop and take photos and remember that there is a visitor center where you can gain additional information.

The Native American Indians in this region long referred to Bryce Canyon as "a bowl shaped canyon with men standing without hands."
