Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Average for a this national park, but compared to your back yard ...
Aug 2022
There are many worthwhile pullouts and points of interest along the park road. With a name like Inspiration Point you might have inflated expectations. It is nice, but so are many others. Do not think that by seeing this you have seen the best view of the formations.

Photographers Don't Want You To Know This One Tip
Nov 2022
Sunrise and sunset photography are my thing. I won't hesitate to get up at 5:30 in 10ºF weather for sunrise. But, like real estate, location/location/location matters and, for sunrise, inspiration point is the location. How is Inspiration Point for the rest of the day?

Amazing!

Just a gorgeous place to view the Bryce Amphitheater. It truly is inspiring. There is both a lower level and an upper level to view from.

Picturesque view
Sep 2022 • Couples
There are beautiful vistas from this point. It had an incline to get up to the first viewing area. If you’re in good shape home up to the very top for more great views. However, the upper part is an uneven path and May bee too strenuous for those with health/mobility issues.

Really great views of the middle of the Amphitheater. Good facilities. Is on the bus route. Nice viewing platforms. Can get crowded.

I left more details of this viewing point in my Bryce Canyon review but Inspiration Point and Sunset Point were in my opinion the best view points of the canyon. Standing there on the ledge just starring off into the distance was exactly what I needed.

Great Views of Bryce Canyon
May 2022
Inspiration Point is an easily accessible overlook point of the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater. There is a parking area nearby and the views from here give a great overlook of the many hoodoos (rock formations) in Bryce Canyon. This is not too far from the visitor center and it is definitely worth a stop. My son and I stopped here on our recent visit to Bryce Canyon.

First stop inside Bryce Canyon
May 2022
Signage makes it easy to find. Parking is about 30 spaces so limited - and there's a bathroom when you arrive! Pets on leash are ok only on pavement here - not on trails. Gorgeous first stop!
