If you want a couple's getaway, there are some very romantic things to do in Bryce Canyon. Wine, roses, and rings are optional while you romance your honey. First of all, how can you go wrong with names like these? Sunset Point-romantic way to end the day. Sunrise Point-sharing a beautiful dawn if you're earlybirds. Inspiration Point, Rainbow Point, Fairyland Point...you get the picture. Each of these drive-to viewpoints offers amazing views of Bryce Canyon's endlessly gorgeous scenery.
Now, we will warn you that the Full Moon Hikes are very popular, so you won't be by yourselves. But hiking under the bright light of the full moon through the eerily beautiful landscape with your beloved can still be a very sweet experience. Not to mention you'll probably long remember this very awesome hike.
We included the Queen's Garden Trail because it's the shortest descent into the Bryce Canyon amphitheater. Which may be a good thing, if you or your honey is wanting less time on the trail and more time just gazing into your loving eyes! Ditto the Canyon Trail Rides, if your other half loves horses. There will be fewer people on the half-day ride than the two-hour trail.
If you do want some quality time to yourselves and you're hikers, we recommend the unprettily named Sheep Creek and Swamp Canyon Loops. These back country trails are sparsely visited and showcase Bryce Canyon's beautiful "secret" trails, the ones that sport almost no other people on them.
