Bryce Canyon is known for its world's greatest concentration of hoodoos which are the colorful stone formations that make the park more look like an amphitheatre than a canyon. Bryce Canyon is high in elevation at about 8000 - 9000 feet (2400 - 2800 meters) which causes the weather to be quite variable most of the year. Summers are usually warm with little humidity which makes the actual temperature feel hotter than it is. Spring and fall are mild but as it's at a high altitude, expect the nights to be quite chilly compared to the daytime temperatures. Winter brings with it snow and temperatures drop to around the freezing point.
Best Time to Visit Bryce Canyon
Weatherwise the best time to visit Bryce Canyon is between May and September when it is pleasantly warm with temperatures averaging from 60-80°F (17-27°C). Of course this is also the time when most people visit the national park. If you prefer off season travelling - no problem at all - Bryce Canyon is open all year round. However, there's a broader range of activities on offer during the main tourist season. There is a chance of snow from October to March. In general the weather in Bryce Canyion is quite changable in spring, fall and winter. But still in winter, temperatures almost never drop below freezing during the day with it being mostly sunnny with clear skies.
