Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There's a $35 entrance fee unless you have a National Parks pass, then it's free. Breath taking for it's beauty as well as it's huge size. There is no place on earth like it. Pictures somehow just do not do it justice.

The Bryce Amphitheater is the bowl that is filled with hoodoos. It stretches out and descends from the rim. Technically Bryce is not a Canyon because it doesn't have walls on both sides. The amphitheater was formed by water flowing off the rim and down into the bowl and onward from there. The Amphitheater is the main attraction at Bryce Canyon and it can be viewed from several point including Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, and Sunrise Point.
The Amphitheater is magnificent. If you visit Bryce Canyon this is what you come for.

Absolutely stunning. We hiked the sunrise to sunset trail going down the less steep slope coming back up the shorter steeper route. Quite a steady reasonably easy hike, better than we expected and fabulous scenery. It was a bit overcast but we beat the wind and rain so struck lucky.

It was a wow moment! Think of Bryce Amphitheater as nature's grand theater, where the stage is set with towering cliffs and bizarre rock formations. It's like watching the greatest show on Earth, but without a roof!

The Amphitheater is what you come to Bryce to see, one of the 5 natural wonders of Utah. It is incredible, but unfortunately in March, it can be covered in ice and snow which prevents you from hiking without the right equipment. For Floridians, this seemed too much so we passed on hiking. I will say even in the snow and ice, there are plenty of places you can go to see the wonders of the amphitheater. It is truly amazing and words and even pictures can't capture it. You have to see it.

I walked the trails from Sunset to Sunrise Point viewing the Amphitheatre in January, 2021. The rangers think the uphill climb back up to Sunrise Point is more gentle and I concur.
I shorter version could be starting and ending at Sunrise Point. The shorter walk will allow viewing the Queen Victoria Garden (think stone structure, not flowers). However, the signage for trails is not good. You could get lost on the horse trails without maps, and good navigation.
If you go on this trail and visit this park, you have to enjoy rock formations.

This is the main part of the Bryce Canyon National park, it contains the main attractions such as Sunset point, Sunrise point, Bryce point, Inspiration point, with numerous hoodoos formations you can see. There is shuttle to run though those attraction points in summer, you can also drive to those points as well. You can also hike some trails in this area. If you don't hike, half day may be enough for you to see the attractions point, but if you hike, each hike at least 1.5-2 hrs, some hike may be even longer.

The Bryce Amphitheater at Bryce Canyon National Park is that central aspect of the canyon filled with hoodoos and other fascinating rock formations and can be viewed at several observation points between Bryce Point and Fairyland Point. The scenery is simply spectacular, and photos do not do it justice. All the observation points provide unique and amazing views although the best viewing is between Sunrise and Sunset Points. This is also the busiest section of the park. However, another great way to experience the Amphitheater is to hike along the Rim Trail starting at Bryce Point and making the gradual descent to Inspiration Point and continuing on to Sunset Point for incredible views. You will encounter much less people than at the observation points and the hike should take no more than 2 hours.

At Bryce point, go to the concrete path viewpoint, then go to the off-path bare ground point. Go ALL the way along the path up to where the rock outcropping looms over the amphitheatre. Now look around. See the Cathedral? Look to your right. See the people on the concrete overlook you just visited? Drive to and stop at every viewpoint on the drive, then hike as you can. Take the 3-hour horseback (or mule) ride down to the valley floor. Bryce is awesome.

Bryce Canyon is beautiful! The Amphitheatre is so amazing. This is a must see. Take the extra time to stop at all the sites at the park, it is well worth it. Take the time to look around as you are driving from stop to stop, all of Bryce Canyon is amazing.

I am visiting Bryce Canyon next month but I’m scared of heights and don’t enjoy walking too much. Which trail (or part) could I do that involves a short reasonably flat walk so I can take a few pictures?
Written 27 July 2023
Hi! We never considered biking in the actual canyon and there is a more than 100 m difference in height between the bottom and the rim. The trail paths are narrow in places... However, as Sevenoaks suggested, the scenic route along the rim could be nice, whether you choose to cover the whole distance to Rainbow point or part of it.
