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