Bryce Canyon’s New Paved Path Extension Reaches Bryce Point

If you’re planning a visit to Bryce Canyon, here’s a connection to work into your itinerary. The shared-use path is now open all the way to Bryce Point, according to ad-hoc-news.de. The outlet reports that officials announced the extension’s completion on October 15, 2026. That’s the announcement date; the report doesn’t specify when the section opened.

According to ad-hoc-news.de, the new section is 2.7 miles long. That’s the length of the extension, so keep that distinction in mind when planning your route. The outlet also reports that the path is paved. According to the same source, you can walk, bike, or use a wheelchair on the path.

To plan your route, we recommend checking the Bryce Canyon park guide for the places along the path. According to ad-hoc-news.de, it connects the Visitor Center, the lodge, and two campgrounds. It also serves Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, and Bryce Points, the outlet reports. You can choose which stops to include in your visit.

If you’re biking, plan to walk the final stretch to the overlook. According to ad-hoc-news.de, bikes are still prohibited on the Rim Trail and in the overlook areas. The outlet reports bike racks at the viewpoints. It also lists racks at the lodge, the Visitor Center, and the Shuttle Station. We recommend allowing for the switch from biking to walking when you visit the Bryce Point overlook.

Finally, if you’re traveling with a pet, ad-hoc-news.de reports that pets are allowed on the path as long as they’re on a leash.
