Hiking among the hoodoos is an amazing experience! When you first see the canyon, you look over the rim to see many pillars of rocks called hoodoos. The colors of the rocks change as the sun moves through the sky. I would recommend experiencing the overlooks at sunrise and sunset----the colors seem to be the most vibrant at these times.
Make time to go below the rim. The hoodoos are a lot taller than what you see on the rim. The most popular trails are the Navajo Loop trail and the Queens Garden trail. If you visit for a few days, there are longer trails: the Peekaboo Loop and if you want to backpack, there is the Under the Rim trail.You can visit this canyon year round, but in the winter you may be using snowshoes or skis to explore the trails. In the summer, it is also quite cool in the evenings. Since the rim of Bryce Canyon is almost at 8000 feet, make sure you have an extra blanket when you are tent camping.
So plan your trip by visiting the NPS site for Bryce Canyon and go to the place that Ebenezer Bryce homesteaded and has been known to say "It's a hell of a place to lose a cow."
