Our last stop on our Utah national parks trip was Cedar Breaks National Monument. Perhaps it was the alpine setting at an elevation of 10,400 or maybe it was the smaller crowds than experienced elsewhere, but Cedar Breaks National Monument was our favorite from our trip.

Bryce Canyon National Park
Cooler temperatures and hoodoos await you at Bryce Canyon National Park! |
Our visit to Bryce Canyon National Park was short but fun! Bryce Canyon National Park is located in Southern Utah at an elevation between 8,000 & 9,000 feet. When you visit Bryce Canyon National Park you will be amazed by the hoodoos. The brightly colored hoodoos are a striking sight to see.

The elevation of Bryce Canyon National Park makes it a much more desirable location to visit during the summer than Zion National Park. While the high temperatures at Zion National Park were hovering around 95 degrees in early June, Bryce Canyon National Park was a welcoming 78 degrees the day we visited.

Lodging: We stayed in St. George, UT, 2 hours from Bryce Canyon National Park. If you would like to know more about my hotel, view my previous blog post. There are very few lodging choices near Bryce Canyon National park. If I had to do it over again I would book a room at the Bryce Canyon Lodge for 1 to 2 nights. Make sure you book early, as the Lodge fills up quickly, especially during the summer months.
Lunch: The day we visited Bryce Canyon National Park we took a picnic lunch of a Subway sandwich.

Southern Utah - Lodging
Lodging is one of the biggest expenses you will encounter when planning a vacation. As I planned our Southern Utah vacation I selected the places we wanted to visit and then began the search for lodging. We planned to visit Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. If there was time, we would also try to make it to Grand Staircase and Cedar Breaks National Monument. Where would we stay?
Southern Utah!

During June of 2018 we spent 4 days in southern Utah. In that time we would visit two national parks and one national monument. Utah has five national parks and seven national monuments. You will never be bored when visiting Utah!
