Bryce canyon Map & Hiking guide

Be aware that Bryce Canyon’s roads may sometimes be snow covered and/or icy with poor visibility– drive with care!• Accelerate and decelerate slowly - when accelerating on snow or ice, take it slow to avoid slipping or sliding. Brake early, brake slowly, and never slam on the brakes.• Remove all snow from your vehicle’s windows, lights, brake lights and signals. Make sure you can see and be seen. • Adjust your speed to the currentconditions and, even though you maythink the road is completely fine, thepossibility of encountering “black ice”exists.

Where is the Best Overlook? There are 14 viewpoints along Bryce Canyon’s 18-mile road (one-way distance) and everybody determines his or her favorite for a multitude of reasons. Furthermore, for every 15 minutes you extend your visit you can see another overlook. If you drive to the very southern end first, and stop at the overlooks as you return to the north, the entire park can be seen in as little as 3-4 hours. The northern overlooks have the most hoodoos, but the southern overlooks offer the most expansive views.

Park roads are plowed and sanded after each snowstorm but may be temporarily closed during and following winter storms. In winter, the roads to Fairyland Point and Paria View are NOT plowed and become trails for cross-country skiers and snowshoers.

Visitor CenterStop at the Visitor Center for information, museum exhibits, and a 22-minute award-winning orientation film.

See Our Famous Overlooks Drive to Bryce, Inspiration, Sunset and Sunrise points first. If you still have more time, visit overlooks in the southern portion of the park as described below.

Short WalkHike a short segment of the Rim Trail or select one of the other hikes from the “Easy to Moderate” group in the hiking table on page 5.

• Heart attacks • Falling off cliffs • Lightning • Vehicle accidents

How many people die at Bryce?

Fortunately, Bryce averages less than 1 fatality per year. In order of decreasing occurrence, fatalities are caused by:

Unfortunately, hundreds of serious injuries have also needlessly occurred, often from ignoring park safety warnings.

Top 10 Causes of Bryce Injuries#10 Unsafe Driving• Speeding (posted limits are 15 to 45 mph).• Failure to wear seat belts. • Passing on a double yellow line. • Auto vs. animal. Watch for Wildlife!• Rear-ending. Stop in pullouts, never in road. • Not reducing speed on wet or icy roads.

#9 Climbing / Sliding down cliffsThe rock at Bryce forms crumbly cliffs and steep gravely slopes. Hand and toe holds support nothing heavier than chipmunks. Climbing the rocks and sliding on the slopes is not only illegal but also dangerous.

#8 Feeding AnimalsFed animals become aggressive. Even small animals can inflict bites requiring stitches and worse yet transmit disease. Watch wildlife from a distance and discourage animals that approach you.

#7 Ignoring Extreme WeatherAt Bryce it is possible for the difference between the daily high and low to be as much as 50° F / 27° C! Lightning is a year-round danger – especially during summer storms! If you can hear thunder, lightning is within 10 miles (16 km) and you need to seek the shelter of a building or your vehicle immediately. #6 Dehydration Drink 1 quart / liter every 1-2 hours. A well hydrated body is better able to regulate body temperature and is more resistant to heat exhaustion. Sunburns also lead to dehydration. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses to protect from the sun overhead and reflected UV light. Hydration Stations to fill your water bottles are found in several locations in the park - look for this symbol on the map in this newspaper.

#5 Leaving the Trail Stay on designated trails and away from cliff edges where footing can be tricky. Even on seemingly gentle slopes, it can be impossible to keep your footing. Bring the maps on page 4 and 5 to avoid getting lost.

#4 Over-exertion Park elevations reach 9115 ft (2778 m) subjecting you to 70% of the oxygen you might be used to. Bryce’s trails start at the top which means all returns will be uphill. Turn back BEFORE you become tired. Know and respect your own physical limitations.

#3, #2, & #1 Bad Choice of Footwear Wear hiking boots with good ankle support and “lug” traction. Sport-sandals & “trainers” are NOT safe hiking footwear. Wearing shoes or boots not designed for hiking is the NUMBER ONE cause of rescues and injuries that require hospital visits at Bryce Canyon National Park.

Weather & Climate

Exposure to cold, wet, or windy conditions can lead to hypothermia, a life-threatening lowered body temperature. Hypothermia symptoms include uncontrollable shivering, disorientation, apathy, slurred speech, loss of coordination, followed by unconsciousness and death.

The best treatment for hypothermia is prevention. Wear warm clothing in layers which can be added or removed, especially when exerting yourself in cold weather. Wear a hat and gloves. Drink lots of water and eat high energy foods.

Most importantly, when you feel cold, it’s time to go inside and warm up!

Don’t Get Caught Out In The Cold!

Due of its high elevation climate, weather at Bryce Canyon through autumn, winter, and spring can be highly variable. Snowstorms in October are not unusual, yet there are also many sunny and pleasant autumn days during the month. From October to May temperatures fall below freezing nearly every night. The park typically experiences its coldest and snowiest periods from December through February. Spring storms in March and April can still produce heavy snowfall that may impact travel in the region. For those reading this paper prior to planning your trip, it is best to plan for any kind of weather.

Tropic Shale Approximately 90 million years ago, dark muds were deposited in a vast interior seaway. Ammonoids, bivalves, and gastropods are common invertebrate faunas, while sharks, turtles, and plesiosaurs represent large vertebrates.

Ammonite

Oyster

Kaiparowits Formation Approximately 75 million years ago, muds and sands were deposited in lakes and meandering rivers systems and has yielded one of the best records of late Cretaceous terrestrial vertebrates, including ceratopsian, hadrosaur, tyrannosaur dinosaurs.

Dakota Formation Beginning approximately 100 million years ago sands and muds were being deposited in coastal areas as an ancient sea began to encroach across the area. A variety of oysters are common fossils. These are the oldest rocks exposed at Bryce Canyon.

Claron Formation Beginning about 55 million years ago, the lower pink member was deposited as muds and silts in meandering streams and shallow lake systems. The sediments are highly disturbed by soil-forming processes with plant fossils and animal burrows. The upper white member represents a limestone deposited in a shallow lake system. Gastropods and bivalves occur but are rare. Uplifting of Utah’s High Plateaus contributed to formation of the Grand Staircase, with Bryce Canyon at the top. World famous for its concentrations of colorful hoodoos, these odd-shaped pinnacles and spires form primarilydue to freezing and thawing cycles within fractures in the rock.

Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations As the seaway shoreline began to fluctuate, sands and muds were deposited in marine, coastal plains, and alluvial plains. Coals formed in coastal swamps. Marine fossils include bivalves and shark teeth, while dinosaurs and early mammals, including the Bryce Mouse, are found in terrestrial units. The Wahweap consists of interbedded mudstone, siltstones, and sandstones deposited in a vast fluvial plain. Petrified wood, vertebrate teeth, and gastropods are common fossils.

Bryce Canyon National Park, in association with the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, is proud to welcome Dr. Larry Davis as the park’s first Geoscientist-in-Residence. Formerly a professor at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University in Minnesota, Dr. Davis will be helping to expand our – and, in turn, your – knowledge of Bryce Canyon’s geology, as well at that of the surrounding area.

Where can I cross-country ski or snowshoe?Snow depth at Bryce can be variable, so it’s important to make back-up plans. With 3-4 feet of snow the entire park is skiable. The only area that is always “Out-of-Bounds” is skiing off the rim. If you want to slalom through hoodoos, you will have to go to Red Canyon. When snow depth is less than 1 foot, the only skiable surfaces are the groomed trails at Ruby’s Inn, the Red Canyon Bike Path and the roads to Fairyland and Paria View.

Unlike skiers, snowshoers are allowed to follow the hiking trails below the rim. When snow depth is less than 1 foot, the awkwardness of snowshoes outweighs any “flotation” advantage. On the popular trails where the snow quickly becomes packed and icy, hiking boots with traction devices are often more helpful than snowshoes.

Some winter sports equipment rentals may be available in Bryce Canyon City. Traction devices for hiking boots can be purchased at the Visitor Center or in Bryce Canyon City.

Snowboarding, downhill skiing, sledding, etc. are NOT permitted off the rim.

The Hoodoo 7

Bryce Canyon National Park works with our local partners to help create memories that last a l ifetime. For example, if you’ve hiked a trai l or attended a ranger program, then you have benefited from the Dollar Donation Program, a partnership between the park, Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, Ruby’s Inn Resort, Forever Resorts, and vis itors l ike you.

Funds from the Dollar Donation Program help to support Bryce Canyon National Park in many ways, including: vis itor information and exhibit panels, trai l maintenance and restoration, summer ranger programs, special events, wildl ife research, search and rescue equipment, free publications, and more.

H oodoo You ?Love Love

Bryce Canyon National Park is grateful to its generous donors and partners who help improve park programs and services.

Since 1961 the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association has contributed more than $6 million by providing the park with funds that support:

• The Junior Ranger Program• This Hoodoo newspaper and

other publications• The Geology Festival,

Astronomy Festival and other special events and interpretive programs

• A full-time Education Outreach Specialist and, new in 2014, the Geo-scientist-in-Park

Since 2008, the Geologic Society of America has funded two Geo scientist-in-Park interns. These interns assist with:

• Research• Present public geology

programs each summer• Provide training for park

staff on the geology of the Colorado Plateau

The Lodge at Bryce Canyon and Ruby’s Inn Resort have implemented a Dollar Donation Program. Hotel guests have the option of donating a dollar to the park each night of their visit. Nearly $500,000 has been contributed to fund:

• Seasonal employees for interpretation and the trail crew

• Projects such as the recent addition of restrooms at Inspiration Point

Thanks! We couldn’t do it without you!
