Frequently asked
Will the sunset be good tonight in Bryce Canyon?
The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.
What makes a good sunset in Bryce Canyon?
Bryce Canyon sits at 8,000 to 9,000 feet on the Paunsaugunt Plateau, which puts you above most atmospheric haze and gives you unusually clear air for sunset photography. The hoodoos — dense fields of orange and red limestone spires — absorb warm light and glow intensely in the last 20 minutes before dark. Inspiration Point and Bryce Point face west and southwest, giving you the widest view of the amphitheater at golden hour. The elevation means temperatures drop fast after sunset, so come prepared even in summer.
What time is sunset in Bryce Canyon tonight?
Bryce Canyon sunset ranges from around 5:00 PM in December to 8:45 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
