Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
The park's General Store, designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, was the Utah Parks Company's last major improvement in the National Park Service rustic style. Built in 1932, it was known as Bryce Inn and served as the nucleus of more than 25 concessions buildings and cabins known as Camp Center.
Bryce Inn originally provided a cafeteria, and later a camp store, showers, and laundry. Directly to the south, the park's first administrative building was also built in 1932. It provided an early Park Service presence and a station for the park's first ranger, Maurice Cope. Today it provides educational opportunities as the High Plateaus Institute.
