The famous Hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park without the crowds.
How does one even begin to describe Bryce Canyon? One of a kind. Something only dreamed up. In short, Bryce is a high alpine plateau in Southern Utah with pink limestone spires called Hoodoos. These colors are so vibrant they hardly seem real. Standing on the edge and looking into the vast valley of the Sevier River is a jaw-dropping experience!
The adjacent Dixie National Forest features endless UTV trail routes that allow us to view and visit very remote overlooks.
Our tour wanders through the towering pines and quaking aspen forests and along small streams to reach the edge of the fantastic Sunset Cliffs of Bryce. Please note that although this tour does not enter into Bryce Canyon National Park, the views gained through touring in this way are some that few visitors will see. Not to mention the possible wildlife encounters along the way (elk, mule deer, bob cat, and coyotes). Making this one of our favorite tours.
