Bryce Canyon Scenic Tours and Shuttle Service

10/03/2025

Currently in the State of Utah, only Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park Visitor Centers are open. Your support to Zion Forever is allowing us to keep Zion National Park's Visitors Center open.

Services at all parks are limited, and the National Park Service staff is stretched thin. Please do your part by leaving no trace, hiking smart, and following all rules and regulations.

Smoke in the skies. With a fire near Beaver and a new one down by Skutumpah just about 13 miles from Bryce. Stay safe out there folks.

Come one and all!

⛏️ Rock on! Our annual Geology Festival returns July 12-13.

Join park rangers and special guests for two days of guided hikes, geology talks, evening programs, and family-friendly activities.

This year's festival will feature two special keynote speakers:

🎤 Cate Larsen is a geology communicator from New York state known on social media as the Groovy Geologist. Her Friday talk will focus on how geologists study the rock record to interpret what happened long ago, and how doing so helps us understand the natural processes happening today.

🎤 Tyler Knudsen is a Senior Geologist with the Utah Geological Survey’s Geologic Hazards Program in Cedar City, Utah. On Saturday he'll share his work of identifying, investigating, and publishing information on hazardous faults, landslides, rockfalls, ground subsidence, and other potential geologic hazards in southwestern Utah. He has authored and co-authored several studies and maps on the geology and geologic hazards of the Cedar City-Parowan area, St. George basin, Zion National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and Bryce Canyon National Park.

Nothing but facts!

🌕 The moon is full tonight, and soon our parking lots may be too!

Memorial Day weekend is historically the park's busiest weekend of the year. If you'll be visiting in the coming days, here are a few ways you can be prepared:

🚗 Parking lots tend to fill early. Avoid the uncertainty and enjoy a predictable visit on the free Bryce Canyon Shuttle. We recommend boarding in Bryce Canyon City at the Shuttle Station. go.nps.gov/BryceShuttle

🚴 The Shared Use Bike Path is another way to skip the lines and visit the iconic Bryce Amphitheater. Bikes and e-Bikes can be rented both within and outside the park. go.nps.gov/SharedUsePath

⚠️ Should all parking lots within the park reach capacity, private vehicles will be temporarily restricted from entering the park. This typically happens at least once each Memorial Day weekend. Riding the shuttle or using the Shared-Use Path are the only ways to enter the park during these restrictions.

Stay up to date with park alerts and tips here on social media and at our website at go.nps.gov/BryceConditions

If you’re hankering for a good time after visiting the park, maybe consider checking out the Bryce Canyon rodeo at the best Western Rubys inn!

Here’s a shout out and thank you to all of the wonderful park employees that help make your visit the magical experience it is! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

They say parks are for people. The thing is, you need quite a few people to help make parks...for people.

You get what we mean. Whether it's greeting you at the entrance station, helping you choose a hike, bandaging a scraped knee, cleaning the restrooms, keeping the internet on, teaching you what kinds of rocks we have, or making sure we have enough money to pay for everything, Bryce Canyon employees show up every day to care for you and your public lands.

All of these roles (and plenty others) are the "service" reflected in our name: National Park Service. This Public Service Recognition Week, we want to thank our staff and fellow rangers for everything they do to make Bryce Canyon National Park a place where the world is welcome.
