There are three viewpoints here, each worth visiting. It's an easy drive to Inspiration Point from the main park road.

From the top of Insperation Point (make sure you climb all the way to the top), you get a 360-degree vista of the entire canyon, as well as the mountains and canyons for miles in the distance. Don't miss it.

It is difficult to come up with the perfect adjectives to describe the views in Bryce Canyon. Each observation point offers a different view, a different perspective. At any time, just moving 100 feet in either direction, the views change, the colors change and the topography can change. Keep your children on the trails! Your safety depends on you, not... More

Inspiration Point is one of my two favorite viewpoints of Bryce Amphitheater (Sunset Point is the other) due to the excellent view of the extraordinarily high concentration of Hoodoos that is known as the Silent City. Visit preferably in the early morning when the colors are at their greatest intensity and variety but if you can’t be there near sunrise... More

This point in the park was my favorite! The Hoo Doos are incredible, especially when it snows! Allow plenty of time because the colors change as the day goes on.

Over the years many people told me that they liked Bryce better than the Grand Canyon. Its a tough call. Spend a few hours at Inspiration Point prior to dusk. It is a live show. The Canyon changes colors. The sky change colors. A lot of wild life comes out as well. Words, video, and photos just don't do it... More

Liked: Scenery, Color, Nature, animals, location, accomodations. Dislike: Altitude can be a problem with shortness of breath those with respitory difficulties at some viewpoints, however walking slow after arrival seems tolerated.
