Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah (1952)

Roads and Trails

The National Park Service has completed an excellent road, 20 miles long, which follows the high rim the full length of the park plateau. Short spurs lead to such scenic places as Inspiration Point, Bryce Point, Paria View, Natural Bridge, and Rainbow Point.

The roads are open during the spring, summer, and fall. Those in the vicinity of headquarters are kept open throughout the winter, except for brief periods during and immediately following storms.

Fine horseback and foot trails have been built in the interesting area under the rim. They lead into Queen’s Garden, Silent City, Fairyland, Wall Street, Peek-a-boo Canyon, and other more remote points—each with its distinctive form. Trails are all easily traveled in good weather; horseback trips can be arranged in half- or full-day units to suit the individual. Inquiry should be made before attempting a trip, as stormy weather sometimes makes the condition of these trails uncertain.
