Stepping foot in Bryce Canyon National Park on one of our several Bryce Canyon excursions can feel like you’ve landed on Mars! The reddish-orange rocks tower as far as the eye can see and visitors can hike among the many trail paths into this otherworldly place.
The Park is located a four-mile drive from Sin City, meaning there’s an array of Bryce Canyon tours from Las Vegas for you to embark on! If you’re on a time limit but still want to enjoy one of our Bryce Canyon trips, try out our Bryce Canyon Day Tour. The rural Utah landscapes will welcome you into the park, where you can hike between the hoodoos and visit Inspiration Point.
If you’d like to spend some more time exploring the American southwest, our overnight Bryce Canyon tours mean you can explore not one national park, but two! This two-day tour extends to Zion National Park, where you can camp or stay in a hotel overnight before stretching your legs around the pristine Emerald Pools, or even reaching the summit of Angel’s Landing.
Whether you’d prefer one of our existing Bryce Canyon guided tours or you’d like us to help customise a private tour to take in these two spectacular parks, Incredible Adventures can charter an unforgettable voyage into Utah’s magnificent terrain.
Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southern Utah. But — surprise! — it’s not actually a canyon! The rock formation is a series of natural amphitheaters and colorful hoodoos (tall pillars of rock) formed over millions of years by the powerful forces of wind, water, and ice erosion.
There is archaeological evidence of inhabitation in the Bryce Canyon dating back 10,000 years. Artefacts from the Ancestral Puebloans, also known as the Anasazi, have been found south of the park and the Paiute Native Americans moved into the valleys of the park as other cultures left. This hunter-gatherer tribe developed mythology around rocky hoodoos, believing they were formed when the trickster Coyote turned the Legend People to stone.
The Paiutes were driven from the park following drought, overgrazing and flooding as the first European Americans settled in the area, after being sent by the Mormon church in the 1850s. One settler, Ebenezer Bryce, grazed his cattle and grew crops inside what became the current park’s borders. The area became known as “Bryce’s Canyon” and the name stuck when it became federally protected.
By the early 1920s, the Bryce Canyon area was becoming a nationally recognized tourist destination. Increased visitation combined with unregulated grazing and logging prompted conservationists to lobby for the area’s protection. Their efforts paid off and, in 1923, President Warren G. Harding declared Bryce Canyon a national monument. Following more conservation efforts and the federal government buying the park, in 1928 Bryce Canyon National Park was established.
The magic of Bryce Canyon’s diverse ecosystem and unique geology is visited by more than two million people each year. Whether you’re looking for a day tour or a longer tour around this mystical rocky landscape, Incredible Adventures will help create an unforgettable foray into Bryce Canyon National Park.
