Each year, thousands of tourists visit Bryce Canyon in order to experience the natural beauty of the area in person.  Each year, thousands of others tart planning a trip to Bryce Canyon and end up forgetting their plans as they find that the trip can be a little difficult.  Not that it is difficult to get to Bryce by car or difficult to navigate the park, but instead difficult to get to a starting place from their homes that makes sense.  Bryce Canyon is located in Southwestern Utah and is roughly 270 miles from Las Vegas, the same distance from Salt Lake City.  These two cities are the nearest to the park that have major airports, and updated hotels and restaurants.  While there are other smaller towns nearer to the park, some of which have airports, there are none which can service major carriers.  This simply means that getting to a point to call your starting point of your trip from your home is going to be difficult and expensive if you do not choose to start in either Las Vegas or Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas is better set up to cater to your needs as a visitor. Because of the fact that a significant amount of the visitors to Bryce Canyon choose to start their trip from a major city instead of flying into a small town with limited resources, the tour companies who can be contracted from these cities are numerous.  The type of tour you will receive depends upon what you are looking for, as most tour operators will simply act as bus drivers who allow the actual "guide" aspects to be handled by a DVD which plays as they drive.  An "adventure tour" company like Bindlestiff Tours will be a more immersive experience, designed

Many people from all  over the world want to visit Bryce Canyon to marvel at its beauty, stroll, take pictures, hike and many other activities.  One of the most surprising things that people who begin researching this dream trip will probably be that the most convenient way to experience Bryce is by sandwiching the trip into a Las Vegas vacation.  This is primarily due to the proximity of Bryce Canyon (as well as Zion and the Grand Canyon) to Las Vegas, and the fact that only two major cities with airports are within a half-day drive.  Both Las Vegas and Salt Lake City are roughly the same distance from Bryce Canyon (under four hours) and although there are other cities with airports closer, the convenience of a MAJOR airport cannot be overstated.  Smaller airports offer far less flights from far fewer places, and as a result are generally higher prices than flying into major hubs.  Las Vegas is a more popular airport than Salt Lake City due to the fact that so many tourists fly in and out every day, along with the fact that Las Vegas is used as a layover on many flights.  The sheer popularity of the Las Vegas airport and the less expensive flights makes it the logical choice for the origination point for your Bryce tour, but the hotels and restaurants just add to the value. Las Vegas is one of the most popular tourist destinations on earth, and as such offers far more restaurant and hotel choices for travelers on all budgets.  Within the city, you are sure to find the perfect hotel and restaurant choices, and a short taxi ride can easily transport you to one of our pickup locations if we do not pick up directly at the hotel you have chosen.
