Top Canyons in USA

Pack your own snacks. The food options are limited and pricey. I brought granola bars and saved cash for a nice dinner later.

Bring a reusable water bottle. There are refill stations everywhere, and it’s a great way to stay hydrated and save money on bottled water

If you're thinking about a guided tour check for discounts online ahead of time. I found one that was 20% off just by searching!

Don't skip the stargazing at night if you're staying nearby. Bryce Canyon has some of the darkest skies in the country, and it's truly breathtaking!

I recommend getting to Bryce Canyon around 8 AM to avoid the big crowds and snag that perfect sunrise. The early light on the hoodoos is something else!

I suggest hitting the trails around 8 AM. The early morning light is amaizing for pics, and the frst few hours are so much quieter. You'll totally avoid the mid-day crowds.

Parking can get super tricky. I recommend arriving early to snag a spot right by the visitor center. Later in the day, you'll end up parking far away and wasting time.

I suggest booking your tour at least a week in advance – it gets super crowded, and I ended up on a waiting list that I thought I was gonna die on!

Pack a picnic to enjoy while soaking in the views. There's nothing better than having lunch with a perfect Grand Canyon backdrop. Just make sure to bring some trash bags to keep the place clean
