About
Rainbow Point Amphitheater sits at the southern end of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, at an elevation of 9,115 feet. It is also known as Yovimpa Point Amphitheater. The site is a canyon viewing area rather than a built venue, and it is reached at the far end of the park's scenic route, at Rainbow Point, Bryce Canyon National Park, UT 84764.
What the visit offers
The main draw is the view. From the rim, visitors look out over the surrounding canyonlands, with the amphitheater's sweep of rock and open country stretching in every direction. Because of the height, the air is usually cooler than in the lower parts of the park, which makes the spot a comfortable place to linger on a warm day.
The area includes two overlooks, Rainbow Point and Yovimpa Point, so a visit can cover both in one stop. Each gives a slightly different angle on the canyonlands below.
Planning a trip
- Elevation: At 9,115 feet, plan for cooler conditions than the park's lower viewpoints, and bring a layer even in summer.
- Location: The overlooks lie at the southern end of the park, so allow travel time within the park when planning your day.

Rainbow Point Amphitheater suits visitors who want wide canyon views and a quieter end to a drive through Bryce Canyon National Park.
