Bryce Canyon National Park
Dates
Bryce Canyon National Park is a nature preserve in southern Utah known for its spire-shaped rock formations called hoodoos. It's a perfect place to rent a camper van.
If you like mountain biking, but don't want to get too far from Bryce Canyon National Park's trails or scenery, there are plenty of nearby options. One popular choice is the double-track Great Western Trail that starts near Panguitch Lake and loops back towards town passing through sandstone formations along the way. A more challenging technical singletrack through spectacular country, Thunder Mountain is a steep ridge beside a narrow hog’s back and familiar hoodoos. Loose rock makes the almost eight mile trail (one way) difficult to navigate at times. It can also be done as an out and back for 15.8 miles. Rent a camper van and head out to a whole new world in the canyons of Fairyland Loop Trail. This trail descends from Fairyland Point on the rim into amphitheaters and labyrinths, among spires and hoodoos, through deep stone canyons. The drop is almost 900 feet but so worth it for this incredible hike.
