This is an extremely hidden park inside a park. It takes focus to continue to continue to get to this place, but let me tell you it is worth it! The ranger we spoke with in the visitor center (Brandon) was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area and the park. This Basin has incredible spires and colors and the... More

We only had time to walk the Panorama Trail but saw many unusual columns and chimneys of red rock. Also a beautiful view of Bryce Canyon in the distance. Check out the Visitor Center for an explanation how they're formed. $6 per vehicle entry fee. More

We spent one night at Kodacrome Basin State Park in our pop up camper. If you go the park looking for the breadth of sights that you would find in Zion, Bryce or Arches, you may be disappointed. But we were just looking for a weekend trip with a nice campground and a few good hiking trails. And that is... More

The panorama trail is lovely. Easy walking, exceptional views...just make sure you have lots of water. Thanks to the bob cat driver who keeps the trail clear. More

If you are looking for a quiet park with beautiful panoramic views of Utah, stay a few nights in Kodachrome State Park. We stayed in one of the 6 cabins, very nice accomodations with a front porch facing great vistas, two comfy queen beds, small kitchenette, shower, ceiling fan, vaulted ceilings! We loved our cabin, but I would recommend renting... More

Spent a very enjoyable half day here hiking the Sentinel Trail and the Panorama Trail. Compared to Bryce Canyon this place was deserted when I was there, it boasts some excellent views of the surrounding countryside and is easily more geared to hikers/cyclists than anyone wanting to stay in their car and see the sights through the windshield.

It was nice to go to this smaller park after traveling in the National Parks. Instead of seeing things from a distance, it's great to be able to practically touch the landscape. Dogs are allowed on the trails. More

We didn't have much time there because we had gone to Bryce in the morning and afternoon, but the short nature trail was fascinating as the sun was going down. It is a lovely spot to unwind and picnic. Not a lot of shade so evening was very nice and the colors warm. Compared to Bryce it is not as... More

Stopped here because we have fond memories of Kodachrome film. It is a lovely park to visit, lots to see, worth the $6 entry fee, and the detour off the main road. Of course, just about anywhere in that area of Utah is a photo opportunity, with lots of places to walk and enjoy the sunshine. More
