Queens\u2019 Garden Trail: This trail descends from Sunrise Point about 320 feet, and then you can turn around to go back up or connect to Navajo Loop to get back to Sunset Point instead. This one brings you to a famous rock formation that looks like Queen Victoria, a favorite of many visitors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhile it\u2019s not quite a hike, we can\u2019t mention the views in Bryce Canyon without urging you to take the quick 18-mile drive from the entrance of the park to Rainbow Point, which is the farthest viewpoint in the park. Most people who visit rarely go out that far with so much else to explore, and that\u2019s a mistake. The view from Rainbow Point is panoramic, stretching out from one end of the horizon to the other in unspoiled beauty. It\u2019s totally worth the drive, and you can also find a few of the lesser-traveled trails like Bristlecone Loop. If you didn\u2019t bring a personal vehicle or you don\u2019t want to drive, there is a shuttle that goes out to Rainbow Point two times every day in the park.<\/p>\n
What to Do After Dark<\/h2>\n
After the sun sets in Bryce Canyon and you\u2019re back at your campsite, don\u2019t just hit the hay! Night time is a gorgeous time in this park. The remoteness of the park, paired with the altitude, make it ideal for stargazing. In fact, astronomers from all over the world come here to view certain celestial landmarks. There is an astronomy program in the park with telescopes available year-round for visitors, so you can easily connect with a park ranger and take in the gorgeous Milky Way. According to their website, the sky is so dark in Bryce Canyon at night that you can see over 7,500 stars, and the Milky Way lights up the entire sky like a sort of nighttime rainbow.<\/p>\n
Rangers do lead moon-lit hikes on some of the easier trails at night if you want a unique experience that you can\u2019t get in many other parks. They will provide snowshoes if necessary, and children as young as six are allowed to come along.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Forget These Things!<\/h2>\n
Of course, everyone who has gone camping knows to bring their tent, their food, their sleeping bag, dry socks, and so on. But there are a few very important things that you cannot be without in Bryce Canyon.<\/p>\n
First, be sure to bring plenty of drinking water. There are places nearby where you can buy more, but the naturally occurring water in the area is not safe to drink, and the campgrounds do not have water sources.<\/p>\n
Second, be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen. Because of the way the Canyon is shaped, it\u2019s sort of like being under a magnifying glass for the sun to beam down on. You will get burnt faster here than you would elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Third, bring your camera! Bryce Canyon is ideal for photography. The unspoiled views, the remote location, the stunning night sky, and the gorgeous mid-morning light all make for amazing photographs. No matter which of the 13 overlooks you visit, there are dozens of angles to commemorate.<\/p>\n
Finally, be sure to bring clothing and shoes that work in several environments. Because of the changes in elevation, the park often experiences very different weather in one area than it does in another. In just a single hike, you can go from summer temperatures to a very chilly atmosphere. You will need very sturdy shoes that offer great traction if you plan to hike the Canyon, and if it\u2019s close to winter at all, bring snowshoes along to keep your feet dry.<\/p>\n
Make Use of the Visitor\u2019s Center<\/h2>\n
Our last tip for camping in Bryce Canyon is to make good use of the visitor\u2019s center. There, you can see exhibits on the local wildlife and geology, as well as a short film about how the Canyon has changed over time.<\/p>\n
