The Experience
Before You Go
Start early and expect a long day
Pickup is typically before 5:30 a.m.; bring sleep aids if you’re sensitive to early alarms and plan for a 10–12 hour outing.
Hydrate for altitude
Bryce sits near 8,000–9,000 ft—drink extra water throughout the day to reduce fatigue and headaches.
Layer up
Temperatures can swing widely between desert heat and high-elevation chill—carry a breathable shell and a warm midlayer.
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect short, uneven walks at viewpoints—trail sneakers or light hiking shoes provide needed grip.
