POI 1 Tour Image
Entrance
Welcome to Bryce Canyon National Park! Look at that sign! Such an iconic staple of the park, it’s always fun to take a picture with the sign to commemorate your trip. Fun anecdote: whenever I go on road trips we pull off at the state sign and take a picture! It’s always an awesome thing to look back on, so I highly recommend it.

POI 2 Tour Image
Fairyland Point
Our very first scenic overlook, Fairyland Point! With an expansive view of the hoodoos, the spire-shaped rock formations, for which Bryce Canyon is famous. These formations are the result of erosion over millions of years, creating a surreal and otherworldly landscape. The hoodoos have more than just one beginning. Bryce Canyon’s Native American history is as deep as the amphitheater and runs through every crevasse. From Paelo-Indians to Ancestral Puebloans and Fremont Peoples, to the Paiute Indians, Indigenous peoples have lived in the area for at least 10,000 years. And just like us today, the Paiute were taken aback by the sheer beauty of this place. The Paiute name for Bryce Canyon is “Unka-timpe-wa-wince-pock-ich,” which translates to “red rocks standing like men in a bowl-shaped recess.” Their lore states that the hoodoos were evil people turned to stone by the Coyote spirit, and the Paiute called the hoodoos, “red painted faces.”
The name “Fairyland” was given to this area by early settlers who were too enchanted by the fantastical shapes of the rock formations. The name reflects the whimsical and magical qualities of the landscape. And, like many other viewpoints in Bryce Canyon, Fairyland Point is known for its spectacular views at sunrise and sunset. The angled sunlight creates dramatic shadows and highlights, enhancing the colors of the rock formations and making for stunning photo opportunities.
While Fairyland Point itself is primarily a viewpoint, it also serves as the trailhead for the Fairyland Loop Trail. This trail is one of the longer hikes in the park, spanning about 8 miles round-trip, and offers a closer exploration of the hoodoos.
If you’d like, you can park here and take a look around before we continue on with our tour!
