Bryce Canyon in the Snow

If you’ve never seen Bryce Canyon in the snow, you’re missing out! You might think that snow would make for an unpleasant trip to Bryce Canyon, but that’s far from the truth. When Bryce Canyon is blanketed in white snow, the red and orange hoodoos pierce through, making for breathtaking views loved by photographers for many years. Check out photographer Joseph C. Filer’s Bryce Canyon winter shots.

Bryce Canyon Winter Weather

Be sure to dress warm! Bryce Canyon sits at an elevation of about 7,600 ft above sea level. Temperatures get below freezing and there’s lots of snow! Remember sun glasses too, sunshine reflecting off the snow can be hard on the eyes. As always, when driving in winter weather be cautious of icy roads.
