The best photos of Bryce Canyon aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Sunrise and Sunset Points and Rim Trail will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Fairyland Loop for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
An amphitheater of thousands of red, orange, and white sandstone pillars called hoodoos, shaped by frost and erosion at 8,000 feet in southern Utah.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in Bryce Canyon. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Sunrise and Sunset Points — rim viewpoints overlooking the main amphitheater of hoodoos, Rim Trail — a 5.5-mile trail connecting viewpoints along the amphitheater edge, plus hidden gems like Fairyland Loop — an 8-mile trail through less-visited hoodoo formations with far fewer hikers and Night sky programs — Bryce Canyon has some of the darkest skies in the US with over 7,500 stars visible on clear nights.
Use this page as a starting point for a Bryce Canyon walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Bryce Canyon. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Bryce Canyon attracts visitors for nature and hiking, and Sunrise and Sunset Points and Rim Trail and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Fairyland Loop reward those who wander off the main path.
The elevation means cooler temperatures than other Utah parks — bring layers. Trails descend steeply into the amphitheater, so the hard part is the climb back out.
May through September for hiking. Winter snowfall on the red hoodoos creates extraordinary photography.
