Bryce Point, Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park Located near the small town of Bryce, Bryce Canyon National Park is a veritable wonderland of unique rock formations known as hoodoos — towering red rock spires sculpted by centuries of erosion. The park’s scenic drive is a pleasant introduction, but the real magic lies in the overlooks, like Bryce Point, Sunset Point, and Inspiration Point, where you can feast your eyes on thousands of hoodoos. While photos struggle to capture their grandeur, hiking down among these spires offers an unparalleled, up-close experience.
Zion National Park Located near the charming town of Springdale, Zion National Park is Utah’s most popular and magnificent destination, attracting over five million visitors annually. Known as a hiker’s paradise, Zion boasts an array of trails for all levels of expertise. For an easy yet rewarding hike, try the Zion Canyon Overlook Trail — a one-mile round trip with breathtaking views. Scout’s Lookout is also a must-do, but it’s not for the faint of heart! Climbing concrete switchbacks, you’ll wind your way through Refrigerator Canyon’s cool, narrow walls and test your balance on the short but steep switchbacks of Walter’s Wiggles, leading to a stunning view at the top. One of the best ways to experience the grandeur of this park is to bike the scenic road, which is closed to vehicles. With countless opportunities to enjoy America’s beauty, Zion is a haven for nature enthusiasts.
