What To Expect

Bryce Canyon Visitor Center

Embark on this epic adventure through Bryce Canyon National Park just before the Visitor Center. As we begin the drive, we'll learn about how the canyon got its namesake and about the original Paitue people who called this land home.

Sunrise Point

Our next stop is one of the most famous in the entire park: Sunrise Point. From this vantage point, we'll see unique, picturesque rock formations spread out in front of us and a plethora of natural trails leading into the vast, alient landscape.

Inspiration Point

We continue our self-guided tour deeper into Bryce Canyon, towards Inspiration Point. As we drive, we learn about the Paiute people and their mythologies. They had their own explanation for the uniqueness of this landscape and the origins of Bryce's famous hoodoos.

Bryce Point

This brings us to Bryce Point, which offers one of the most scenic vistas of the full amphitheater. Bryce Point is also famous for its extraordinary sunrises. From here you can watch the tops of hoodoos set alight as if by fire from the first rays of the rising sun. Like fire, the orange light quickly spreads driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. As we drive here, we'll learn about the Mormon settlers who followed the Paitue and tried to eke out a living in this unforgiving climate.

Paria View

Our self-guided tour continues to Paria View, where we see the effects of a centuries-old glacier. As the earth warmed about 12,000 years ago, the last ice age came to an end. As the enormous glaciers which covered the American continent melted, all that new water had to go somewhere. Answer: down the canyon!

Ponderosa Canyon

This brings us to Ponderosa Point, from which you can see the park’s iconic junipers sprawling out into the distance. We're now driving into the deepest recesses of Bryce Canyon National Park.

Rainbow Point

Finally, we reach the farthest overlooks inside Bryce Canyon: Rainbow and Yovimpa. From here, you can see nearly everything in Bryce Canyon -- the quintessential hoodoos, the verdant basin, the sheer cliffs. You can even see that you're on the top step of the incredibly massive "Grand Staircase" -- a geologic structure "stepping down" all the way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a southwest Utah nature preserve distinguished by Zion Canyon’s steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through its main section, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. The river flows to the Emerald Pools, which have waterfalls and a hanging garden. Also along the river, partly through deep chasms, is Zion Narrows wading hike.

Springdale Visitor Center

Welcome to Zion National Park! This raw landscape has it all: staggering mountain peaks, stunning natural pools, and gorgeous vistas. We’ll explore it all today.

Zion Canyon Visitor Center

Continue straight. Just before the bridge, you’ll see a path on the left. That’s the start of the Pa’rus Trail. And just after the bridge is another path -- the Watchman Trail. Both are popular hikes with great views at the end.

Zion Canyon Scenic Drive

Whew, what a view! Those three mountains are the iconic Court of the Patriarchs. And who are these patriarchs? Well, a local Christian minister named them after three figures from the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from left to right.

Emerald Pools

First, bring lots of water! You may think you’ve got enough… but you probably don’t. This might seem obvious, but Utah’s heat is unforgiving, and heat-stroke or sun-stroke can easily ruin a fun vacation. Second, make sure you don’t overtax yourself! Hiking around here is going to be more difficult than you might be used to, thanks to the elevation. Be sure you don’t embark on journeys you’re not certain you’ll be able to finish.

Angel's Landing

This park has a ton of great trails, but Angel’s Landing stands in a league of its own. Those who complete the hike describe it as a breathtaking experience like no other, offering impossible views and a major adrenaline rush.

Weeping Rock Trail

A continuous stream of water trickles down its face from a stream far above

Canyon Overlook Trail

The Canyon Overlook Trail is one of East Zion’s finest -- even though it’s short and easy. Why? Simple -- the spectacular views from the top.

Checkerboard Mesa

Look at that mesa rising into the sky. Notice anything peculiar? As you get closer, you should be able to make out a strange grid of criss-crossed lines all over it. It looks a bit like a checkerboard, which is how it gets the name Checkerboard Mesa!

I really enjoyed what the app had to offer as we drove through Bryce Canyon. It was so helpful to know where to go to see the best sights and hear about some of the history. This is the first time I've used this type of experience and would certainly do it again. Also, I am a Travel Advisor and wanted to test this as an option for clients who are not big on group tours. I would recommend this option to them, too! Overall, more than I expected.

I'm thrilled you enjoyed my Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks Self-Driving Bundle Tour! Knowing it helped you discover Bryce Canyon's best sights and history means a lot to me. It’s awesome that you found it perfect for clients who prefer self-guided flexibility and convenience. For more adventures, check out my Tour of 25+ National Parks, featuring engaging audio guides at parks like Yellowstone and Glacier, designed for freedom and discovery. Happy travels!

Downloaded the app at home as instructed. At Bryce Canyou, the app gave some coordinates and a pic of a Sinclair station. No one at the station had any idea what we were asking them about. The app would not let us proceed past the Sinclair station and kept taking us back there. We didn’t even try the Zion leg of the app. Do not buy this tour.

Rebecca, it sounds like there was some confusion with the starting point. My self-guided audio tour works best when starting from the provided location, which is very close to the Sinclair station (MRCV+X7F, Bryce Canyon City, UT 84764, USA). Since this is a self-guided tour, no one will be onsite to assist, but my support team is always available to help, and I've added tutorial videos in the app to guide users. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a replacement or refund!

Laura, It sounds like the app wasn’t set up correctly, which is likely why you got frustrated. I provided detailed instructions and a tutorial video to help set up the app beforehand, and once you reach the start, the app will take over. The tour is valid for a year, so you have plenty of time to use it, and my support team is always available to help. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me!
