Bryce Canyon N.P. sights to see and where to stay

The Dark Skies Program at Bryce was great for us. We were lucky to be there when the moon rise was very late or there was no moon. Check the Bryce NP Program schedule. Have a great trip!

Just spent 3 nights at Bryce. Currently both North CG and Sunset CG are on 1st come basis - they stopped taking reservations 5/31 as they will be paving both CG's at some point in the not-too-distant future. No issue getting a site for us. If you are just windshield viewing then 1 day is fine. If you plan to do any hiking you will need at least 2 nights there. Parking at any of the viewpoints near the Amphitheater is next to impossible - take advantage of the free shuttle bus. Sunset CG is better situated if you plan to hike.

Staying at Ruby’s is a good idea, great service from their front door into the park if you so wish not to take the toad.
Some six or seven different major areas of Bryce to hike and enjoy. All depends on the temperature as it can get very hot there during the May to October period.
Bryce has some unbelievable sites probably at least 2 days should be allowed. Also the different times of the day for observing the parks scenery is quite fantastic.

Don't miss all the State Parks - Kodachrome - Escalante - Goblins - RT 12.

If it gets too HOT head over to Colorado to Get some Elevation and Cool Crisp Nights - Heaven.

Best of Luck,

Stay at Ruby's RV Park just outside the gate. Often there is a bus that runs in and out several times a day, or take the toad. Nice thing about the bus is it takes you directly to the best stopping location, and using the toad you might be in a huge parking lot.

A lot depends on you, how far you want to walk or hike. We did a large 6 mile hike years ago that took us deep inside and the scenery was amazing. Ruby's people took us to the first park hiking spot down Fairyland Road, and then we took the bus back out from a big parking lot.

“Ive heard only a day to see the major sights“

That’s my view, yes.
