点评:I had seen many photos and videos of Bryce Canyon before visiting, but nothing had prepared me/us for this natural wonder. Words cannot describe the sheer majesty of this wonderous place. We took the advice to drive to the far end of the Scenic Drive and work back (so you do not need to keep crossing the road) along the viewpoints. So we started at Rainbow Point (all the viewpoints we stopped at had good parking and were accessible), and did the Bristlecone Loop trail (easy 1 mile) and we did indeed see some Bristlecones and a range of other trees (some scorched) and some lovely views - the wind was very chilly, so take a coat. The views are fabulous from all the viewpoints, but do not miss Natural Bridge and Bryce Point (the panorama here literally took our breath away; so many people were walking around saying "wow" and talking to total strangers about the view. It almost brings me to tears thinking about that view; it was so magical. I had predicted that Bryce Canyon would be the highlight of our Utah and Grand Canyon road trip, but it surpassed our expectations. Definitely one of the most special natural wonders of the world.
