The Thunder Mountain Trail is a world-class mountain biking destination and combined with the paved Red Canyon bike path, it makes a great loop for experienced riders.

You need at least 2 days to really explore Bryce Canyon's incredible vistas an hiking trails, not to mention the sunrises!

The beauty of this park lies in its obscurity and opportunities for solitude. There's a small campground, hiking trails, and a lake.
