Your planned arrival points
Arrival points from your itinerary, in order. A hike leads to its access point; this list does not calculate a driving route or confirm current access.
NPS recommends driving south to Rainbow and Yovimpa, then stopping at the southern viewpoints on the return north. Those pullouts are on your right as you return.
18 mi / 29 km one way on the main park road. About 36 mi / 58 km out and back, before side roads.
Road length from NPS; round trip and kilometers are derived. No drive time is estimated. NPS scenic-drive guidance ↗
Yovimpa is a walk from the Rainbow Point road-end area; Piracy Point is a walk from Farview. The list describes stop order, not turns or permission to enter a road.

All stops, airport comparisons and practical notes are available here without the interactive map.
The park shuttle connects the Visitor Center, Bryce, Inspiration, Sunset and Sunrise Points, the Lodge, and stops outside the park. It does not reach the Southern Scenic Drive, Fairyland Point, Paria View or Mossy Cave.
The published 2026 season is April 3–October 18. Service can change; check current hours and last buses with NPS. A dated season does not mean a bus is operating now.
Park admission covers shuttle use. NPS describes wheelchair-accessible buses. Pets are not permitted; check NPS service-animal guidance. The Rainbow Bus Tour is not offered in the checked guidance.
Vehicles 23 feet (7 m) or longer face parking restrictions during shuttle hours at the Visitor Center’s one-hour lot, the Lodge, Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration and Bryce Points. Paria View restricts these vehicles at all hours.
NPS recommends the Shuttle Station in Bryce Canyon City or the Additional Parking Lot across from the Visitor Center. Ordinary vehicles may also benefit from the shuttle. The southern drive has different parking rules and no park shuttle; follow signs.
Fairyland and Paria spur roads close to vehicles in winter. After snowstorms, the main road can close beyond mile 3 while crews clear the southern drive. This map does not determine whether any road or trail is open.
Check NPS alerts for park restrictions and UDOT for Utah highways and construction. Do not substitute a drawn road for an open route. Ask a ranger about hiking conditions.
The map works after its local assets have loaded, with no account or location permission. External directions and current condition pages need a connection. Save this reading guide or print it before leaving coverage; a cold visit to an uncached site may not load offline.
Airport mileage comes from NPS’s directions page: LAS and SLC about 270 miles, SGU 125, CDC 80. Exact routes can differ. The airport view’s dashed connector is illustrative and has no navigable geometry. No flights, car availability, traffic or drive times are asserted.
Approximately 270 mi / 435 km to the park — the NPS comparison, not a calculated route length or a travel-time estimate.
I-15 north → UT-20 east → US-89 south → UT-12 east → UT-63 south.
Public airport address: 5757 Wayne Newton Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Confirm the actual terminal or rental-car origin in the provider. Airport reference pin: FAA / BTS data effective September 3, 2026.
This written approach comes from NPS’s Bear (Dog) Valley guidance. Mileage depends on the chosen route. A Zion alternative has separate park, tunnel and vehicle considerations.
Directions: airport → Visitor Center. The provider chooses the road route.
Salt Lake City International Airport
SLC · Airport origin
Approximately 270 mi / 435 km to the park — the NPS comparison, not a calculated route length or a travel-time estimate.
I-15 south → UT-20 east → US-89 south → UT-12 east → UT-63 south.
Public airport address: 3920 W. Terminal Dr., Salt Lake City, Utah 84122. Confirm the actual terminal or rental-car origin in the provider. Airport reference pin: FAA / BTS data effective September 3, 2026.
Use the airport’s current terminal and ground-transport instructions to reach the highway.

St. George Regional Airport
SGU · Airport origin
Approximately 125 mi / 201 km to the park — the NPS comparison, not a calculated route length or a travel-time estimate.
Join I-15 north → UT-20 east → US-89 south → UT-12 east → UT-63 south.
Public airport address: 4550 S Airport Parkway, St. George, Utah 84790. Confirm the actual terminal or rental-car origin in the provider. Airport reference pin: FAA / BTS data effective September 3, 2026.
NPS’s 125-mile figure is a broad comparison, not the measured length of this corridor; the provider may choose a different route.
Directions: airport → Visitor Center. The provider chooses the road route.
Cedar City Regional Airport
CDC · Airport origin
Approximately 80 mi / 129 km to the park — the NPS comparison, not a calculated route length or a travel-time estimate.
NPS describes UT-14 east → US-89 north → UT-12 east → UT-63 south.
Public airport address: 2560 W. Aviation Way, Cedar City, Utah 84720. Confirm the actual terminal or rental-car origin in the provider. Airport reference pin: FAA / BTS data effective September 3, 2026.
UT-14 is a mountain approach. Check UDOT conditions. NPS also describes the longer I-15 / UT-20 approach; 80 miles does not represent every alternative.
A rim viewpoint near the start of the Queen’s Garden Trail.
Shuttle destination: 13. Place pins do not mark exact boarding points.
NPS describes a 0.2-mile walk from the shuttle stop to the viewpoint. Vehicles 23 feet (7 m) or longer: use alternate parking and the shuttle during shuttle hours.
Shuttle destination: 11. Place pins do not mark exact boarding points.
Use the marked path from parking or the shuttle stop to the rim. Vehicles 23 feet (7 m) or longer: use alternate parking and the shuttle during shuttle hours.
A sequence of views across the Bryce Amphitheater.
Shuttle destination: 9. Place pins do not mark exact boarding points.
The mapped point does not describe the grade or accessibility of every viewpoint. Consult NPS access information. Vehicles 23 feet (7 m) or longer: use alternate parking and the shuttle during shuttle hours.
A broad amphitheater view at the end of a spur road.
Shuttle destination: 8. Place pins do not mark exact boarding points.
Park or leave the shuttle at the designated area and walk to the viewpoint. Vehicles 23 feet (7 m) or longer: use alternate parking and the shuttle during shuttle hours.
Numbering follows the NPS page checked October 2, 2026. The list is not a live timetable. Boarding locations and operating hours must be confirmed with NPS.

Eight map sheets for the day, from the long view of the park road to Mossy Cave in its separate northern corner, in three paper sizes. Each sheet is drawn from National Park Service road, trail and point records and prints its own coverage limits.
They are planning sheets, not navigation or current-condition maps: roads and trails outside a sheet’s frame are left out, and some point locations are accurate only to 14 metres or worse.

Road centerlines and place locations come from NPS, approach highways from UDOT, and airport reference points from FAA / BTS. The USGS background is shaded elevation, not aerial photography. Accuracy and source dates vary; these are planning-scale data.
In the airport view, a dashed line only connects an origin to Bryce. It is not a driving route. NPS airport mileages are broad comparisons, independent of that line. Current routes, travel times and restrictions belong to your navigation provider and the relevant road authority.
The park map omits administrative roads. A line or pin does not establish access, an open road, available parking or a step-free walk. Check NPS conditions and UDOT Traffic before departure.
