Images from Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Bryce Canyon National Park in southwestern Utah provides otherworldly scenery and lots of options for adventure seekers.  Those who just want to drive through and take a few short hikes will be afforded gorgeous scenery that is easily accessible to people of all ability levels.  If, however, you are an adrenalin junkie, here you can scratch that itch with backpacking, horseback riding, mountain biking, even ATVing.  My favorite hikes here include Fairyland Loop, Navajo Loop, and Mossy Cave.  Though mountain bikers are not permitted on National Park trails, adjacent lands in Dixie National Forest afford similar terrain and scenery (Dave’s Hollow, Casto Canyon, and Thunder Mountain for the daring!).  After you visit Bryce for the first time, you will immediately start planning for your next holiday!
