Plan Your trip to Bryce Canyon
Staying at Ruby's Inn, The Grand, or Bryce View Lodge puts you just minutes from the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park, close enough that a full day of exploring never means a long drive back. From here, guests can enjoy a wide range of activities, including guided horseback rides through the park's red rock trails, ATV tours across the surrounding backcountry, and scenic helicopter flights that offer sweeping views of the hoodoos from above. Hiking trails wind directly through the canyon's iconic rock formations, with routes suited to easy walks and more challenging treks alike.
In the winter months, the same trails become ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, making this a year-round destination for outdoor adventure. And when the day winds down, Ebenezer's Barn & Grill is just across the street, offering a hearty Western dinner and a live country music show to close out the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best time of year to visit Bryce Canyon?
Late spring through early fall (May through October) offers the mildest weather and full access to trails and activities. In winter, the hoodoos are covered in snow and the park is much quieter, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing replace summer hikes.
How far is Bryce Canyon from Las Vegas and Salt Lake City?
From Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon is about 260 miles, roughly a 4 to 4.5 hour drive: take I-15 N to exit 95, then UT-20 E, US-89 S, UT-12 E, and UT-63 S into the park.
From Salt Lake City, it’s about 270 miles, also roughly 4 to 4.5 hours: take I-15 S to exit 95, then follow the same route (UT-20 E, US-89 S, UT-12 E, UT-63 S).
Plan a little extra time for stops along the way.
Do I need to book activities like horseback riding or ATV tours in advance?
Same-day spots are often available, but we recommend booking horseback rides and ATV tours as far in advance as possible, especially in summer.
