Winter and early spring is perhaps the most beautiful time to visit Bryce Canyon National Park. Following snowstorms, the colorful red hoodoos are layered in bands of white snow. The park is largely snow covered on the plateau. The current snowpack at the Visitor Center (elev. 7,900 ft.) measures 11 inches. Snow in the southern end of the park towards Rainbow Point (elev. 9,100 ft.) is 2‐3 feet deep. March‐April temperatures average to 50° F during the day and drop to 20°F at night.
