168. Bryce Canyon National Park: The Land of Standing Rocks

Join Johnny Mac as he explores the otherworldly landscape of Bryce Canyon, where thousands of orange and red stone pillars called hoodoos stand in perfect formation like an ancient army frozen in time. Discover how to navigate the park's scenic drive and rim trails that offer spectacular views without breaking a sweat, then venture below the rim on the famous Navajo Loop for an up-close encounter with these geological sculptures. Learn when wildflowers transform the high desert into a colorful garden, where to find the best sunrise and sunset views, and why this technically-not-a-canyon remains one of America's most photographed parks. Whether you're camping under some of the darkest skies in the country or staying in nearby gateway towns, Bryce Canyon rewards visitors with landscapes that seem too surreal to be real.
