3Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
This national park is one of the state’s well-known “Might Five.” Its unique landscape and distinctive hoodoos are not only a part of the stunning scenery here but make for amazing photographs and breathtaking scenery. School-aged children should be able to hike the 2.9-mile Navajo Loop and Queen’s Garden Trail in order to get a close look at the unusual formations.
If you have preschool children or don’t like to walk, there are also ranger programs, horseback outings, and other family-friendly activities. Mind you, the extreme elevation changes in this park mean variable temperatures so you will need to pack layers. If you plan on staying in the park’s Bryce Canyon Lodge, you need to know it is often pricey and they’re often booked months in advance. There are less expensive choices in accommodations mere minutes from the park’s entrance.
