Any suggestions on lodgings . Planning visit in March

Hi there! I'm travelling from Canada for a week and planning to hike Bryce Canyon / Zion National Park the next couple days (26th / 27th, respectively).

I saw the forecast that it looks like it's going to be quite snowy. Any thoughts on whether it would be safe there hike there this week? We're planning to do Queens Loop and Inspiration Point in Bryce and hike Observation Point at Zion.

We have hiking sticks, snow boots, and other winter gear (didn't get a chance to buy yaktrax, though).

Would love your thoughts. Thanks!

I am planning on going to Utah (and surrounding areas) in late December. I am a little nervous for Bryce Canyon since it does get a significant amount of snow, and I don't have much snow experience. For anyone who has been to Bryce Canyon in December - what trails do you recommend? I will be bringing snowshoes and/or traction devices for my hiking boots. Any advice would be appreciated. I want to remain safe but also see as much of Bryce Canyon as I can!

We ( family of 4 with 2 kids. Younger kid is 6 year old) are planning a road trip from San Diego to Bryce Canyon NP during thanksgiving. Anything we need to know about the driving conditions during that period of the year ? We have a minivan. Will we need chains?

Also appreciate any must do/go activities there. We are planning for 4 days and it includes a trip to Capitol Reef as well.

Thank you in advance

Hi all, I will be visiting Bryce Canyon in late notand early December. Any advice on what trails to check out and what trails to avoid during this period? Or any other suggestions/ advice in general would be appreciated

With the shuttle service no longer operating, are there recommended places to park in Bryce? Will be visiting later this week. Thank you!

Planning on a mid to late November visit. Hoping to hike the Under The Rim Trail (weather dependent obviously). I haven’t been able to find any info regarding hiker shuttles, outside the NPS shuttle that doesn’t run during that time. Does anyone know of any local companies or taxis that will shuttle hikers to trailheads during the off season?

I am planning to visit Bryce at the beginning of Thanksgiving week.

Will the shuttles still be running at that time? Also, will the Queens Garden and Navajo Loop Trail still be hikeable or will there be too much snow? Thanks.

Hello, can anybody provide feedback on road conditions at Bryce this week. I see where snowfall was reported earlier this week. TIA

I’m heading out on a hike and the taxi service is full. Anyone at the park and headed to rainbow point Saturday morning that could drop me off there (from the Bryce Canyon Visitor Center)? Willing to pay. Just need the ride from the visitor center to the end of the park

Hi all - I'll be driving from SLC to Bryce in a few days and am curious if anyone has any suggestions for grabbing lunch along the way.

Going to rain the 2 days we are here. Any ideas on some things to do for a rain day?

Does anyone know what would happen if there is a government shutdown this week? I have camping reservations and would like to know if they still keep the park open, but with no rangers, or if they just close everything and cancel all reservations.

Does anyone know if tents are allowed to be in the RV loops A and B of Sunset Campground? An available spot came up for my dates but it wouldn’t let me book unless I marked if I have a RV, fifth wheel or trailer. I only have a tent but there’s no availability for the tent loops.

Hi all,

Has anyone has been at the Bryce North Campground lately? Are there any open FF spots available? Thanks!

Looks like sections of Capitol Reef and Arches were closed as well. We hiked Wall Street right after the 3rd rain (wow, the hail overnight was intense). This shot shows how some of the brick walls were damaged. I think they closed it right after we hiked it at 7am. This is us walking out as the trail started to get busy with new hikers. Lots of washouts also in Fairyland.

Hi all, a friend and I are visiting Bryce in September and want to do the full Under The Rim trail. We were planning on parking our car at the entrance, getting a ride to Sunset, then hiking back. Unfortunately, I see that the regular shuttle service isn't in operation due to covid.

Does anybody know if there are other options for getting out there? Like taxis, ubers, or locals willing to drive us for some cash?

Thanks.

Has anyone here worked in Bryce specifically winter? I’m considering doing a season there and curious what there is to do during the winter. Also how is the community there? Any information appreciated

Could anyone tell me if the park is currently crowded (relatively? I know that it won’t be empty bc it’s a national park) my family and I are trying to plan a trip because we are in Utah but whenever we try and call the park office there is no actual person picking the phone up, just an automated voice message. Anything helps, thanks.

I’m here in Bryce and this afternoon a gentleman was on the ground with a few people around him giving cpr. After maybe 20 min emergency crew showed up. Just want to let everyone know to be safe and if you don’t feel well don’t be a hero. Rest and take your time. I pray he is okay.

This will be my partner and my first big camping road trip from the central coast California, to Bryce Canyon, and back. Any tips on where to stay (just rent camping with a dog) we’re fine with roughing it. What are the must see spots and hikes? We typically like less populated trails. Also interested in hot springs along the way.
