Enjoy the spectacular views during the short 11-mile drive from the Bryce Valley Inn to the entrance of Bryce Canyon National Park. The drive will begin along a winding canyon, speckled with the green of juniper trees and the cream and orange colored canyon walls. While traveling past one of the many vast meadows, visitors may spy one of the large antelope herds that live in the area.

It is truly amazing to see more than 100 antelope racing away from a passing vehicle or to pull to the side of the road and watch them feed on the abundant grasses found in the meadow. This is a scene most people only see on television nature shows. However, visitors to the Bryce Canyon area have an opportunity to enjoy this incredible experience, in person, everyday.

Other adult programs offered by the National Park Service at Bryce Canyon include:

• Early Morning Guided Hikes • Run Walk in the afternoon • Geology Lectures • Full-moon hikes • Astronomy programs       (scheduled around new moon)

• Bird Watching • Horseback Riding • Nature Walks • Wildlife Viewing • and much more

Children can become a Jr. Park Ranger by attending this program, which is offered by the National Park Service at many National Park locations including Bryce Canyon.

The Jr. Park Ranger program is a 45 to 60 minute program offered everyday at 3:00 p.m. during the months of June, July and August. Because space is limited, interested participants are encouraged to sign-up early at the Bryce Canyon Visitor's Center. Potential Jr. Rangers earn their certification by doing fun workbook activities, participating in ranger guided tour of the park and picking-up any litter found along the pathway during the tour. Once all of the requirements are met, the children are brought back to the Visitor's Center and given a badge, patch and certificate of achievement. At least one parent or guardian is required to stay with their child/children for the duration of this program.
