Bryce Canyon National Park Seeks Public Input on Proposed Changes to Equestrian Use
Bryce Canyon National Park invites the public to share thoughts on several strategies to improve the horseback riding experience at the park.
Horseback riding, including guided and private riding, is integral to the park’s history and visitor experience. Guided horseback riding tours provide thousands of visitors with a unique experience to ride among the hoodoos. Private riders are also allowed to ride their own stock (horses and mules) on designated park trails.
The popularity of horseback riding within the park has grown significantly over the past ten years. The park is assessing ways to provide access for horseback riders while also protecting natural and cultural resources and providing for a safe and enjoyable experience for both private users and guided tour groups. Details on the strategies the park is considering are included in the newsletter available at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=34&projectID=131452&documentID=145190.
A 30-day public comment period begins on June 23, 2025. Interested individuals, organizations and agencies are encouraged to provide written comments regarding the proposed strategies for stock use online at ParkPlanning - Equestrian Use Program Civic Engagement Newsletter. Comments may also be mailed or hand-delivered to: Bryce Canyon National Park, Attn: Equestrian Use, P.O. Box 640201, Bryce, UT 84764. The deadline to submit comments is July 23, 2025.
