Early each year, Bryce Canyon National Park—in conjunction
with Ruby’s Inn hotel—puts on the Bryce Canyon Winter Festival.
The snow-capped mountains and red-rock canyons of south-
western Utah provide a scenic backdrop to the three-day event,
which will take place Feb. 17–19, 2018.
The festival includes a variety of outdoor activities, competi-
tions, classes and demonstrations. Two favorites are ice skating
and sleigh rides, while those seeking something a little more
active can sign up for the cross-country ski and biathlon races.
Other popular options include guided snowshoe treks, a peo-
ple-powered sled race, cross-country skiing tours, and clinics
covering the basics of archery and kayaking.
The list of classroom-style sessions is highlighted by interac-
tive photography and watercolor painting programs. A series
of 30-minute ranger-led talks, which in 2017 covered topics
such as geology, stargazing, winter in the park and the history
of Bryce Canyon, take place at the park’s visitor center or at
Sunset Point Overlook. There also are special crafts activities,
painting classes and wildlife demonstrations for students.
