If it feels like I am visiting Bryce Canyon National Park, you wouldn’t be wrong. I started at Sunset Point which is obviously meant to be visited at the end of the day and then made my way to the end of the driving route at Rainbow Point. I then slowly made my way back down to the visitor center and now it is almost sunset and I am only visiting Sunrise Point. As the name implies, Sunrise Point is the place to go to for sunrises or at least mornings. I somehow missed Sunrise point when I first arrived and ended up at Sunset Point. I only noticed the sign to Sunrise Point when I got back there. I think it is better late than never so I still dropped by Sunrise Point to see what is here.

Sunrise Point has cliffs which face the rising sun which make it an ideal place to view the sunrise. I arrived at Bryce Canyon National Park past sunrise so I didn’t think there was any rush to go to Sunrise Point that morning. As you can see, the lighting is quite harsh here and it was difficult to get photos with the sun in the way. There are several hiking trails which start from here and some of them are relatively easy to complete. Naturally, I didn’t bother with the hikes and just focused on taking my photos. I will ended up at a sunset viewing point sooner or later.
