Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

In 1875, a Scottish immigrant, Ebenezer Bryce, and his family joined other settlers in the valley to the east. To access timber, he built a road that ended in an amphitheater of pink cliffs. Others started calling it “Bryce’s Canyon.” Bryce and his family moved to Arizona in 1880, never anticipating his name would remain over a century later.
