Bryce Amphitheater Viewpoints

Bryce Canyon is situated along the eastern edge of the Paunsagunt plateau, with one main 18-mile north-to-south road and only one entrance/exit. As you enter the park, all viewpoints and hikes are on the left.

The iconic Bryce Amphitheater area is located along the first 3 miles of the main road. Most of the park's day hikes can be found here. The main road continues for another 15 miles along the Southern Scenic Drive until it ends at the park's highest elevations at Rainbow and Yovimpa Points. We recommend visiting these viewpoints on your return trip north as all stops will be on your right side.
