FAIRYLAND LOOP, BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK, UTAH, USA
For another off-season take on the rare beauty of the American Southwest, head
for Bryce Canyon National Park in winter. Nothing enhances the fairytale quality of
Bryce’s multi-hued, whimsically sculpted hoodoos (rock spires) like a dusting of
newly fallen snow. The red rock, evergreen trees and frosty whiteness combine to
create a classic Christmas card colour scheme during the winter months, while the
trails themselves are nearly deserted – in stark contrast to summertime, when the
annual influx of visitors from the USA and abroad, coupled with helicopter
sightseeing flights, can make the place feel like a theme park. The Fairyland Loop
takes in some of the park’s most gorgeous scenery, including Sunrise Point,
Fairyland Canyon, China Wall and the otherworldly Tower Bridge. Verify trail
conditions with rangers before setting out; foot traction devices are advised in icy
weather.
