Are you planning a trip to Bryce Canyon or the Bryce Canyon area?  Do you plan on spending all your time in the park?  If not, you might wonder what else you can visit in the area.  Fortunately for you, I’ve got a list.  Here’s part 2 of my list of places you can visit near Bryce Canyon.  Check out part 1 here.

Firstly, please keep in mind that, as you read this list, some of these places are entire trips of their own.  Others are quick trips which you could take a day or even an afternoon to see while you’re in the area.  Most of these are open year-round but you might want to consider whether or not to visit them in the winter.  One place is only seasonally available.  Another location has a permit you must obtain here.  Also, I’m including these locations in no particular order.  So, let’s dive into part 2.

Horseshoe Bend

Otter Creek State Park

Snow Canyon State Park

Piute State Park

Gunlock State Park

Belly of the Dragon

As you can see, I’ve been to each and every one of these locations myself.  I so love these spots.  Some are easier to find and reach than others are.  However, each one of these places is certainly worth a visit.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the area surrounding Bryce Canyon National Park is full of outdoor adventures and places to see.  If you saw something you’re interested in checking out further, then please do some internet research to learn more about the place(s).  Make them a part of your next trip to the area.  You won’t regret it.

There are several more places which I didn’t cover here.  I’ll do a part 3 when the time is right.  Until then, where can you visit or have you explored near Bryce Canyon?  Please share in the comments section below.  If you list a place I don’t have here or waiting in the wings, I’ll add it to my list for a future article.
