Bryce Point Overlook, Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Point (Utah) is one of Bryce Canyon National Park's most famous attractions. It is visited year round, attracting thousands. It is most famous, of course for its nearby trails and unique rock formations. In fact, it is no surprise the area's glorious sunsets inspire both young and old alike.

The most well-known geological feature in Bryce Canyon National Park (Utah) is found at Bryce Point. Here, nature sets the stage for an inspirational view that draws in many tourists. This massive natural amphitheatre is just one of thirteen, but it is the most spectacular.

Getting there is easy. One long road travels the park's entirety, with the opportunity to give up the driving for awhile and enjoy a trendy new shuttle bus and the picturesque moments that come around each corner.

Bryce Point's amphitheatre is best seen at sunrise. Countless hoodoos come to life, glowing orangey against the shadows of the early morning. Most of them are left over's from the area's once volcanoes and then smoothed into shaped by ancient rivers and streams, finally set alight by discarded silt. Even the Point's grottos show evidence of Mother Nature's creative talents.

The Point is also home to other natural attractions. Little squirrels and chipmunks abound, but as cute as they may appear, the dangers they hold are many. Visitors are banned from feeding them because it inhibits their natural ability to survive and can make them increasingly aggressive when hungry. They are known carriers of the deadly bubonic plague!
