rainbow point

This was the best time of the year to go - good temperatures and no crowds. From here you see how big this place really is.

t is very hard to take in there is so much to see! The shapes and colors are extraordinary! Take your time, and know as much as possible.

Rainbow Point is on the very far end of the park so the drive takes a while. The views are very nice but probably not as awesome as the more famous viewpoints closer to the main canyon. The point is also at the highest elevation of Bryce so you'll find the coolest weather and some different foliage here too.

The lookout it self has a spectacular big view. Well worth the drive. We also hike Riggs Spring Loop. The trail needs attention. For as many cut logs across trails we had to climb over an equal amount. There were a couple of places crossing old run offs where the trail could have been cairned to mark. Loved the difference between the central park and the outer areas.

The vistas are gorgeous the amenities excellent. I recommend taking the Rainbow Point Bus tour, the bus driver gives a 3 hour commentary on the flora, fauna, history and sights the whole time on the bus, the tour is free, but you must reserve your tour.

This is located at the very end of the Bryce Canyon National Park. It's elevation is 9115 feet. It offers a nice view of the plateaus of Utah. This viewpoint has several wonderful picture story board that help illustrate Bryce Canyon's geology and how the canyon was formed. This helps to put into perspective the wonders that the other viewpoints have to offer.

Although there was no rainbow, it was an absolutely gorgeous view and I took several photos. Would have been spectacular with a rainbow which we might have seen because we were having intermittent showers and sun,

If you are visiting Bryce, this is a must. This viewpoint offers one of the best views of the canyon below. You can see far and wide from here.

You can see for many miles. The colors in the hills are outstanding. Be sure your camera has a full battery and empty memory card.

This is the farthest point on the Green Loop and sits adjacent to the Yovampi Point overlook. Both provide wonderful views of the surrounding rock formations and the valleys/passes. It has a nice restroom facility.

I recommend driving to Rainbow point, doing the loop (it only takes an hour) and driving back, stopping at every lookout that has a name. If it doesn't have a name it really isn't worth stopping to see. The national park costs $25 per car but entry is valid for a week. (This would have been useful for us to have known in advance).

we have no idea what this place looks like in the day time but we came here at night to view the stars since it's the highest point in the park. Amazing...must do! so many stars it's mesmerizing. We didn't see the milky way though. prob not good timing.

This is the highest point of the park. Panoramic view of the surrounding areas and distant mountains.

This is the last overlook in the park and a bit of a drive from the park entrance - but definitely worth it. While some of the first few overlooks in the park are all about the stone hoodoos, this area gives you an entirely different perspective of the park. The views from this 9,000 ft elevation overlook give you views of moutain ranges that seem to go on forever.

I drove up to Rainbow Point to see the rest of the canyon and was really glad I did. The hail storm made an amazing impression with the bright white snow against the red rocks. The views are really nice and the drive up to Rainbow Point is very calm and relaxing.
