Bryce Canyon
An amphitheatre full of orange rock spires (hoodoos). Walk the Navajo Loop and Queen's Garden at sunrise: about 3 miles.
Tip: The park is at 8,000 feet: even in summer the mornings are cool.
One of the 11 national parks where visitors from abroad pay $100 a person on top of the entrance fee, since 1 January 2026. With two or more of them on your trip, the $250 annual pass is cheaper: travel info.
