Previous Fall and Spring Field Trip Options
Bryce Canyon has in the past offered two options for ranger-led field trips in the park, giving teachers flexibility to match programs to their classroom. When reviewing the two options, please review the hiking difficulty levels and choose one that is appropriate for your class.
All programs are weather dependant; cold or dangerous conditions will cancel all events. Be sure to contact us the day before your visit.
All programs are designed following Utah State Education Standards for 4th grade.
