Bryce Canyon for Kids
Junior Ranger Program
Bryce Canyon does not offer a classroom program like Zion Park's explorer
program but they do give out a Junior Ranger booklet at the Visitors Center.
Kids completing the projects in the booklet will receive an official certificate
and badge. Bryce Canyon also offers a just for kids program from
June to August. Parents can sign kids up at the Bryce Canyon Visitors Center,
then meet with a ranger at 3 pm. Your children will spend then next hour playing
games and having fun, while learning about the Bryce Canyon environment. Unlike
the Zion Jr. Explorer program, you must stay with your kids.
Kid Trails in Bryce Canyon
Mossy Cave
Mossy Cave is
the ideal hike for kids and families for many reasons. First, it's a hike with
little elevation change. Second, there is a wonderful stream for kids to get
wet in. Third, there are fun hoodoos and windows along the trail. Fourth, there
is a charming cave at the end of the trail. Add all this together and the kids
should have an enjoyable hike.
Mileage round trip: .8 miles
Rim Trail
The Rim Trail is an easy and well-traveled hike. It traverses the rim, from
Fairyland Point to Bryce Point, connecting all the scenic overlooks for these
two points. The section between Sunrise and Sunset Points is where baby strollers
and wheelchairs can be used. The rim reveals a beautiful view of Bryce's Hoodoo's
from above.
Mileage round trip: 11 miles
Horse Rides in Bryce Canyon
