I think I was done with my visit to the highest point of Bryce Canyon National Park. This point obviously gives expansive view of the surrounding area and it surely delivers on that. There were some hiking trails which start from this point but I was not interested in hiking nor doing that in the freezing temperatures of that morning. Although the highest point is considered the end of the driving route here at Bryce Canyon National Park, in a way, it is still the start for me. I won’t be continuing on but rather retrace my route back to the visitor center.

When I arrived here at the park, I decided that I would start at the very end of the park and make my way back to hopefully avoid the supposed crowds here at Bryce Canyon. Of course, there was no such thing since it was almost winter and there won’t be any crowds of people coming. There are still visitors here but the numbers here won’t be considered crowded by any means. I started to make my way back down the mountain.

On the way up, I saw several pullouts where visitors can pull their car over to one side and take in the scenery. I also noticed that all of these pullouts were all on the other side of the road, if you are going towards Rainbow point, this means that drivers would need to cross over to the left to get to the pullout. This is actually one of the reasons why I thought that starting from the end made more sense. I don’t need to cross over but instead just pull over when the pullout comes up. Incidentally, there was one coming up and quickly pulled over to the right to take my photos. I think these viewpoints are so common that they didn’t even bother naming this spot. It is the first pullout coming down from Rainbow Point.
