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.
