Located really close to our accommodations, so you can't beat the proximity. Amazing views and worth it to see during the day and at sunset. More

Was at Bryce April 18 to the 20th. Had clear cloud free weather with no moon. Parked at Sunset point and waited for the stars to come out. Liked this location because it is super dark over the canyon. Plenty of benches to sit on and large railings blocking the way to the canyon so you don't have any accidental... More

We saw this on a cloudy afternoon and it was still as delightful to view as in bright sunshine. More

Well maintained trails, but lose sand, gravel and rock, as the area is in constant state of erosion and decay. Take hiking shoes and hiking shock poles, over 24oz water, big shade hat, and tons of sun block year round. More

Stunning view of Bryce Canyon, especially if you haven't seen it before (like me), but beware if coming here for sunset - it faces north east, so the point is not to watch the sunset itself but instead to see the golden red sunset light spread across the pink landscape below. What that means, of course, is that you need... More

Don't let the name "Sunset Point" fool you; this location is one of the best in the park any time of the day (yes, including sunrise). Sunset Point is situated such that there are good selections of hoodoos spread out on all three sides visible from the observation points, with the most impressive and concentrated groups off to the left...

Like the name says it's the place to see the sunset at Bryce Canyon. It is also a trailhead for hikes and can be seen when walking the easy rim trail. More

Both sunrise and sunset can be seen in this location but it's great for a stroll at any time of the day. If you want to be on hand for dawn, cabins at Bryce Lodge are just a short walk away. More
