ACCESSIBILITY
Most park facilities were constructed between 1930 and 1960. Some have been upgraded for accessibility, while others could be used with assistance. Because of the park's natural terrain, only a 1/2 mile section of the Rim Trail between Sunset and Sunrise Points is wheelchair accessible. The one-mile Bristlecone Loop at Rainbow Point has a hard surface and could be used with assistance, but several grades do not meet standards. Parking is marked at all overlooks and public facilities. Accessible campsites are available in Sunset Campground.

SERVICES
VISITOR CENTER
Two moderately sloping ramps lead from the parking lot to the Visitor Center. The building is equipped with a lowered information/sales desk and fully accessible auditorium with a 22-minute film (captioned version available upon request). Restrooms have fully-accessible stalls.

RESTROOMS
Accessible restroom stalls are available at the Visitor Center, Bryce Canyon Lodge, the General Store, Loop A and the group site of Sunset Campground, Farview Point, and Rainbow Point. Restrooms at Sunset Point are accessible with assistance.

CAMPING
Sites 223 and 224 in Loop A of Sunset Campground are reserved for visitors with mobility impairments. These sites offer pull-through access, picnic tables with extensions, and stand-up fire grills. The sites are located across from a fully accessible restroom. Sunset Campground is closed during winter months (typically mid-October through late April).

LODGING
The Sunrise Unit of Bryce Canyon Lodge (303-297-2757 or 435-834-5361) has rooms designed for handicapped access with adjacent handicapped parking facilities. Motel rooms outside the park also offer accessible rooms. Specify that you would like these rooms when you make reservations.

HORSEBACK RIDING
The two-hour horseback ride below the rim is a great way to see the rock formations if you have a strong sense of balance and some upper leg muscle control. For more information, contact Canyon Trail Rides at the Bryce Canyon Lodge or call 435-834-5500 or 435-679-8665.

HEARING IMPAIRED
A captioned version of the 22-minute film shown in the Visitor Center auditorium is available upon request for those with hearing impairments.

RANGER PROGRAMS
During the summer, National Park Service rangers offer several walks and talks which are accessible to visitors with mobility impairments. Some activities are listed below, but check the activity schedule at the visitor center for exact times and locations.

GEOLOGY TALK
Join a ranger for a 30-minute talk on the geologic features of Bryce Canyon. Talks are held at the lowest level of Inspiration Point. Learn the story behind the scenery, while enjoying a canyon view.

RIM WALK
Enjoy the afternoon colors and longer shadows as a ranger discusses Bryce Canyon’s geology and natural and cultural history. This 1½ hour walk follows the rim along a paved, relatively level section of trail.

EVENING PROGRAMS
Auditoriums in both the Visitor Center and Bryce Canyon Lodge are wheelchair accessible. The Sunset Campground Campfire Circle also has a paved, gently sloping sidewalk leading up to the seating area. Evening program topics are posted on campground and visitor center bulletin boards. North Campground Amphitheater is not recommended for wheelchairs.
