Bryce Canyon National Park.
Bryce Canyon National Park is about 80 miles from Cedar City, roughly a 90-minute drive. The most scenic route follows Highway 14 up Cedar Canyon and over the mountain past Navajo Lake, then joins Highway 89 and Scenic Byway 12 into the park.
Bryce is a series of natural amphitheaters filled with colorful spires of rock called hoodoos. The rim sits between 8,000 and 9,000 feet, so it stays cooler than the desert below. Don't miss Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration and Bryce Points, or a walk among the hoodoos on the Queen's Garden or Navajo Loop trails.
Many guests pair Bryce with Cedar Breaks National Monument, just off Highway 14 on the way. In winter, check road conditions before crossing the mountain; I-15 north to Highway 20 is the easier route in snow or with a large vehicle.
