Southern Utah is known for its vibrant red rock formations, vast wilderness, and rich geological history. This area offers a plethora of options for every type of traveler, from hiking and biking to stargazing under the Milky Way. While Bryce Canyon National Park, famous for its unique hoodoos (thin spires of rock), is the main draw of the region, there is much more to see in the surrounding public lands.

Explore the spruce forests of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, admire the various geologic layers of the Grand Staircase, or hike the canyons of Bull Valley Gorge. No matter what, there is something for everyone to enjoy! The Bryce Canyon National Park Day Hikes Topographic Map Guide contains detailed maps for 17 of Bryce Canyon's finest day hikes. It includes well-known hikes and some off-the-beaten-path trails. They range from easy strolls to strenuous climbs, selected to give you a sampling of all the park has to offer.

Together, they cover almost 70 miles of adventures. One-third of the selected hikes are less than 3 miles long, two-thirds are less than 6 miles, and two hikes are longer than 8 miles long. Each of the 17 maps include directions to the trailhead, the total distance to complete the hike, and an estimate of the degree of difficulty. Also provided are elevations of key points on the trail, an elevation profile for the hike, and a calculation of the hike's total elevation gain. Concise trail descriptions will help you find the hikes that best suit your interests, conditioning, and available time. Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper.

A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation. Every map purchase helps support the National Geographic Society, an impact driven, nonprofit organization with global reach that uses the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world.
