| Yovimpa Point is the end of Bryce Plateau and looks over a vast south land |
Yovimpa Point and Rainbow Point are the south-most views in Bryce Canyon National Park. The lovely drive down takes time as the road curves and wanders. Rainbow point is right off the parking lot and looks to the north and east. This is a wonderful and classic Bryce-type view.

| Rainbow Point has the delicate spires typical of Bryce Canyon |
As lovely as Rainbow Point is, it's not really unique nor are the spires near enough to make you feel like you're touching the heart of Bryce. The views are too distant. Better viewpoints are to be had along the road and at Fairyland Point, Agua Canyon, and other spots.
Yovimpa Point is a 10 minute stroll on a paved path through the pine trees and then ends at the south-most point of this plateau. The views here extend 70 miles to Mollie's Nipple, Coyote Buttes, Paria and many other landmarks visible to the educated eye. The typical hoodoos are absent here but the colorful abyss makes Yovimpa my favorite of the two locations.
