My 10-year-old son and I enjoyed this ATV tour to & around the rim of Bryce Canyon. We left at 7pm so the light was fantastic. As an added bonus, we saw several wild pronghorn sheep on the prairie as we passed by.
Our guide was experienced and informative, giving us an interesting background of the canyon - both the geography and the history of the park itself. While ATVs are not allowed within the National Park itself, the scenery we saw at the rim of the plateau is still remarkable (if slightly less famous).
The balance of the tour was spent off-roading around the plateau through pine forests and prairie, across (and through!) a few creeks and back into town. For someone who's used to ATVs and/or sagebrush & pine scenery, this might not have much appeal, but neither of us had been on an ATV before and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My son's favorite parts:
- Creek crossing
- Tight turns and rocky trails
- Quickly accelerating to 30+mph on straight paths
The one downside is that, as to be expected on well-tracked trails in a desert climate, there's a lot of dust. The ATV operator provided neck gaiters (free of charge) an air hose at the end to "wash off" which my son thought was a blast. To be fair, we got much dustier on foot the following day, hiking the famous Navajo Loop in the park itself.
All in all, we enjoyed the experience. Good people, nice scenery, fun trails. Maybe not for experienced riders, but tourists like us will have a good time.
