Tour Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah

Utah is filled with state and national parks that hold a variety of natural wonders

And while South Central Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park may be far from civilization

the unique hoodoos that have drawn people here for over 10,000 years are well within reach

Standing on the rim, you don't even have to hike down to take in the panoramic views of Bryce's amphitheater

But if you're up for the adventure, riding horses into Bryce Canyon can get you up close to some of the park's distinctive geology and vegetation

can grant over 100 miles of views. And if you're riding here, you won't have to look far to discover the park's unique vegetation and geology on the peek-a-boo loop trail

Considered a tough trail for hikers, the horses handle it just fine, allowing you to

Relax and enjoy the views as you descend among the hoodoos of Utah's Bryce Canyon
