Lots of parking up here, but even in March, it was 75% full. Too bad someone had to light up their cigarette in a toilet...like they don't already smell bad enough?!

Got there first thing in the morning. Absolutely breath taking. The drive out with pines.

You have a view for miles from this location. The views are incredible and the interpretive signs provide information about how the land has changed over time. Very informative. Restrooms are at this location, and there is a walkway along the rim to get several different perspectives from the point.
-
Beautiful vista point. This should be your starting vista point if you are doing the drive. Start at the end of the drive and drive your way back to the visitor center. Almost all the vista points and overlooks are on the right so it is best you do all the scenic stops when you drive back.

The highest point along Bryce Canyon. Plenty of parking available and a few bathrooms. The track to the lookout is paved and suitable for wheelchairs. The view from rainbow point is stunning, a must visit when in Bryce.

We personally found it less scenic than Inspiration Point or Sunset Point, but it does provide an appreciation for the vastness of the area and a good view of the entire area for miles. It's not accessible by shuttle, so you do need a car and it is a decent drive to get there. So if short on time, I'd probably recommend skipping and staying closer to the entrance of the park and exploring everything there.
