year’s successful pilot program allowed Forever
Resorts’ The Lodge at
Bryce Canyon—the only overnight accommodations inside Bryce Canyon
National Park—to remain open throughout the winter months. Once again,
The Lodge will offer limited winter availability, with 30 rooms at its
Sunset Hotel open from Nov. 7, 2016, through Jan. 8, 2017 and again from

While
staying at The Lodge at Bryce Canyon during the winter – months, guests
have the chance to discover the magic and majesty of this tranquil season
at Bryce Canyon National Park. In addition to offering its extraordinary
landscape features and giant, natural amphitheater, the park offers unbelievable
stargazing opportunities at night. Special winter programs offered by the
National Park Service at Bryce Canyon include:
-
Christmas
Bird Count, scheduled for Dec. 14, allows visitors to join experienced
birders and become “citizen scientists,” assessing the health of the park’s
bird populations and helping to guide future conservation action.
-
Snowshoe
Hikes, which are offered when snow depth permits, comprise 1.5 to 2.5
hours of moderately strenuous exploration of the park’s winter ecology
and geology. The National Park Service lends snowshoes for hikers.
-
Geology
Talks, take place daily in the park’s Visitor Auditorium during winter
and feature rangers discussing current scientific explanations for Bryce
Canyon’s unique geologic history.
Guests
who visit Bryce Canyon during winter months should be prepared for winter
conditions; the park is situated at an 8,000-foot elevation and regularly
experiences below-freezing temperatures and moderate snowfall from October
through March.
All
rooms are priced at $126/night for double occupancy with a $10 charge for
each additional guest. Rollaway beds and cribs are available (a $12 charge
