Here are the 15 most visited U.S. national parks
15. Bryce Canyon National Park
Utah
Bryce Canyon, which is known for its scenic views and fantastic hiking, also has an 18-mile road bisecting the park – running from north to south. Along the way, you’ll find four of the park’s most popular scenic overlooks: Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, and Sunrise Point. What’s more, these points also serve as trailheads for some of the park’s most popular hiking trails. Then again, Bryce is also known for its wildlife and dark skies that make it a spectacular place for stargazing.
In 2022, just under 2.4 million people visited Bryce Canyon, according to the National Park Service. That number is up from 2021’s attendance of 2.1 million visitors, however it is still down from 2018. That’s because a park attendance record was set in 2018 when nearly 2.7 million visitors traveled to Bryce Canyon.
