Watch before Visiting Bryce Canyon!

[@nicholasjagneaux]

Your channel has great videos. This is the 3rd one I've watched this morning, and I'm about to binge some more. Intermixing the map with photos/video is really helpful. And I love how you include bonus tips about places outside the park. (Plus, the tip about starting the Fairyland Point trail on the steep end is definitely going to save some stress on the knees.)

[@WereintheRockies]

I show you how to plan your trip to Bryce Canyon by showing maps and footage of the places to see. I also show you a few other things to see on Highway 12. Check out our website, wereintherockies.com, to learn about some other cool places to travel in the west.

[@nathanbrandt9879]

Excellent video. You do what 95% of other videos skip - looking at the map. Having you talk us through the map while you annotate it was SO helpful!!!

[@WereintheRockies]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@kracker675]

Great video! I love getting tips on places to go other than the crowded "main" attractions. Beautiful photography and nice music too - thanks!

[@WereintheRockies]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching!!

[@johndrenning5453]

We just watched this video and added Bryce Canyon to the itinerary for our June 2023 trip out west. Thanks for the review it is very informative. I noticed your wife has a Baltimore Orioles ballcap, We were season ticket holders at Camden Yards for several years while I was stationed at Fort Meade. Go birds!

[@WereintheRockies]

I loved in Glen Burnie for a blink of an eye forever ago! Just visited last month, actually, and had tickets to the Orioles but the game got rained out.

[@ictfc1897]

yes....Zion is beautiful..but Bryce is even better and unique....my fav place - that I have seen till now - in the US...and hope to go back again soon....

[@WereintheRockies]

Bryce is one of my very favorites! When Matt and I first got married, we went to the Grand Canyon with his family and I gave it an "8" out of 10 because it wasn't as cool as Bryce! It's still a family joke.

[@LoveWiena]

I thought Zion was so beautiful, we went there in 2018 in January. It was nice because there weren't very many people and all the trees were in winter mode so we were able to see the canyon walls. But now that I have seen Bryce (June 2022) and climbed down into the Queen's Garden (6 mo after my hip replacement at age 76) I am so in love with Bryce and seeing it up close like that just brought me to tears. I want to go back there this fall (2022)!

[@JayP-md6qv]

Awesome short to the point review for a day visit.. Thank you so much. 👍👍👍

[@WereintheRockies]

Our pleasure!

[@hayleyagardy5779]

Planning our trip there, good video and great tips. Very helpful for people who have never been. Thank you

[@marcocabral4838]

Hey guys, my wife and myself just wanted to say thank you. We started watching your videos recently and just wanted to let you know that you really helped us out. We are literally on our way back from Bryce as we speak, we had such an amazing time! It’s funny because we totally understand the giving Grand Canyon an 8 or else you can’t give Bryce a 10. We did the hike from Queens Garden-Peekaboo to the benchmark-back to Navajo Loop and up to see Thor’s Hammer. Amazing hike! You really see God’s handiwork in that beautiful place. God Bless, keep up the good work and enjoying each other’s company on all these amazing trips you go on! Marco and Orfa

[@WereintheRockies]

What a relief that someone gets the “8”. I thought I was going to get kicked out of the Schoss family 😂. Glad you had a great trip.

[@sandysteinbrook]

You're videos are excellent!

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks! Also, sending you Bryce tomorrow

[@hellokitty2848]

We had an amazing time in Bryce Canyon. Unfortunately, Mossy Cave was closed and won’t open until October 26th. Used your maps to plan our sightseeing! Amazing tips once again. Thank you!!!!

[@WereintheRockies]

You are so welcome.

[@CSVUTUS]

Thank you! really nice and informative video.

[@WereintheRockies]

You’re welcome!

[@maxramsey7860]

Great video and information sometimes you need someone to guide you where to go so this was well done thanks. Best part showing on the map and then seeing the area in a photo or video brilliant

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks Max!

[@dougsundseth6904]

Bryce is one of my favorite parks and I second your recommmendation. A couple of things to add: If you're doing Kodachrome Basin state park and the weather is decent, the drive out to Grosvenor Arch is very nice. It's quite remote, but the road was entirely doable in a passenger car (though don't try it if there's been recent rain, because there's at least one stream crossing.) If you visit Bryce when there's snow (and it's amazingly gorgeous in the winter), you definitely want to have traction devices like YakTrax. The trails have exposure and can get very slick. And if there's snow in the morning but it's going to warm up in the afternoon, be prepared for heavy mud on the bottoms of your boots.

[@WereintheRockies]

Excellent suggestions!!

[@MarkLeach321]

Very helpful video. Taking my teenagers there June 2022

[@WereintheRockies]

Awesome!! You’ll love it. I’m right in the middle of creating a ton of resources for Bryce Canyon. See my website at wereintherockies.com/bryce/. I’m adding more every day.

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

Thanks for the tip about the steep side of Fairyland. I was eyeing that loop and didn't consider which side to start on.

[@WereintheRockies]

You’re welcome! Bryce is so amazing. Have a great trip

[@xmway3830]

Thank you so much for your video! It helped our planning so much.

[@ronnavaughn2928]

Thanks for the information! It was helpful. Researching Bryce for a trip at the end of May. Just hoping it's not to warm. I hike in AZ year round so hope it will be tolerable.

[@WereintheRockies]

Bryce is higher elevation and doesn’t get blazing hot like AZ. May would be perfect. Could even be chilly.

[@healingawakening13]

Those waterfalls look Epic!!! I’m so going!!! I live in California and have never heard of this!!!

[@OutdoorExistential]

Very well done sir! Much appreciated... :)

[@wellsonwheels457]

Awesome! Thank you for the great details snd recommendations! So helpful

[@TattooedGranny]

This is an amazing video. I cannot wait for my first trip to Bryce in Dec 2021. I will check out the mossy trail and the other waterfall sites!

[@WereintheRockies]

Enjoy! Bryce is one of my all-time favorite national parks.

Great job! Have you ever done the Zebra Slot Canyon? It is fantastic but make sure to pack lots of water. It is an arid hike but so worth it.

[@tuneonthemoon34]

Thanks for the info!

[@richardjames4536]

Viewed, subscribed, I shared a short video of Bryce Canyon too

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you!

[@rayngrace]

Super helpful video. Didn't skip any ads, hopefully that trickled towards your channel. We're planning around late June. Coming from Colorado. Unsure where to stay for 2 kids, one 70 y/o Grandma and two more adults. We're entertaining the idea of an RV/ Cabin/AirBnB. Are the trails you've mentioned easy for said Senior? Please also recommend places to eat or picnic. Thanks again and Stay Safe. Liked, Shared and Subscribed.

[@WereintheRockies]

Sorry for the late response. I just saw this! The trails I mentioned are not easy for a senior. The trail down into the canyon gets steep. Once in the canyon, it's not so back, but getting down and back up might be tough. There are trails they can walk along the rim, however. I don't have any suggestions for where to eat right now. We are going to Bryce this summer and will refresh our memories of the places to eat and stay. :)

[@rayngrace]

@@WereintheRockies Thanks for the reply and warning. Mom says to go back to your Yellowstone videos and start taking notes on where to stay. Thanks

[@jcos_currency]

Very solid overview of the park and how to visit, keep up the good work

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks!! And thanks for watching.

[@chingatumadre2923]

Thanks homie!

[@bobfanelli7054]

Makes me want to go there. Thank you.

[@dombell5910]

If I have only one day. What should I do First? The drive to the end of the road with some stops to make pictures or the navajo Loop trail?

[@WereintheRockies]

Navajo loop!

[@samanthab5006]

What is your opinion on bringing small dogs. I know they usually aren't allowed in the national parks but are in most state parks. They're small enough to carry in a backpack for part of the time and are always on leash. Mostly worried about snakes.

[@eileenellingsen3669]

This is perfect information for our planning purposes!! One Day @ Bryce! We will be driving from our base in Cedar City- is the drive approx 1.5 hrs to Bryce and 1 hr to Zion the next day?

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes. Cedar city is a good base. Cedar City also has the Shakespeare festival with a cool outdoor playhouse and plays going all the time. May want to look into that if you have time.

[@eileenellingsen3669]

@@WereintheRockies We are getting very excited! Leaving in 3 weeks from NY yo Bryce, Zion and Grand Canyon! Your videos are extremely helpful!!

[@Jaymac8272]

awesome videos hitting zion and bryce next week...any recommendations were to stay at with bryce canyon? im coming in from LV sat early planing take my time and stay at bryce...check it out sunday and head to zion sunday afternoon tile tue

[@WereintheRockies]

Good question. I usually camp when I go to Bryce, and I haven’t yet researched that question, so I can’t help much. The nearest place is Ruby’s Inn. There are nearby towns like Tropic that have places. Also plenty of places along highway 12 I believe. One fun idea is East Zion Resort. It has yurts and tree houses and it’s in Orderville, between Zion and Bryce.

[@UserCommenter]

Bryce Canyon Lodge is sooo close to Navajo Trail, just a few minutes walk! FYI to anybody going

[@zerokilo5811]

Excellent video, me and the wife loved it.

What is Bryce like at the end of November? Im headed to Bryce and Zion the week of Thanksgiving.

[@charlotteducote7564]

Suggestion, add approximately how long it takes to do each stop.

[@WereintheRockies]

Great suggestion!

[@sandrasafford9777]

Do you know what conditions are like in the last week of March? We are headed there in a few weeks. I don't know if snow is still common, mud, etc.?

[@WereintheRockies]

There may or may not be snow. It just depends on the year. Sorry to not have a more clear answer. I do know people visit Bryce year around.

[@martacruz1788]

Any slot canyons in that area which would be fun with kids?

[@WereintheRockies]

Zion narrows is most famous of course. Peekaboo and Spooky are also famous, but I’m not sure how kid friendly they are. Jenny Canyon inside Snow Canyon is super easy. Hope you have a lot of fun!

[@erikscherer22]

Any suggestions for where to tent camp in the area?

[@WereintheRockies]

Erik, Thanks for asking. We've only tent camped at Ruby's Inn, which is right next to the park. We're doing to do more videos about Bryce this year, but right off the top of my head, I don't have any other suggestions.

[@UserNamesAreHard1776]

What about peekaboo trail?

[@WereintheRockies]

Ya, I should have included that. I guess I thought it was a little far for many people.

[@joanneerbe3229]

Is it pretty hot there in July?

[@WereintheRockies]

Not really. Bryce is very high elevation. Bryce is higher than the top of Zion canyon. So the weather is much cooler and is quite nice.

[@mkkaylor]

Is all of this doable in 1 day?

[@WereintheRockies]

I don’t think so. Maybe if you were a hard core hiker. Doing the drive and the overlooks, and one hike is probably a day. Maybe the next day could be Mossy Cave and a longer hike

[@kariwilson5766]

Any snakes or scorpions that you have seen?

[@WereintheRockies]

Surprisingly, we usually never see any of either.

[@MONIKKA5389]

the you snakes there?????

[@WereintheRockies]

There are snakes in most of these national parks (we saw one recently at Devil's Tower in Wyoming), but they are nothing to be concerned about.
