Kodachrome Basin State Park

Considered one of Utah’s finest, Kodachrome Basin State Park is located in Bryce, Utah, very close to the famous Bryce Canyon National Park and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Grosvenor Arch, Paria Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon.   Not only are you in a great place to stay and get the fabulous views from some 5,800 feet of elevation, you are also close enough to visit the larger parks and monuments in the area during your visit.

Kodachrome Basin, with its 4,000 acres filled with caves, arches, and unique geological formations formed by geysers hundreds of years ago, makes for an interesting adventure.   Many of the natural rock pipes from the geysers, over time, have transformed into sand pipes, and are still present throughout the park.  The Kodachrome Basin was named by the National Geographic Society because of the way the sun continually changes the colors of all the spectacular rock and sand formations throughout the day, from sunrise to sunset.  These are all the reasons this state park seems almost magical to everyone who passes through.

There are lots of walking and hiking areas.  You are also welcome to ride horseback, ride stagecoaches or wagons, mountain bike, picnic, and camp.  So whatever your adventure may be, it is all here at Kodachrome Basin State Park.  There are overnight camping facilities that include running water, drinking water, modern rest rooms, electricity, sewage stations, plus the typical amenities of picnic tables, barbecue grills, and fire pits.

This state park is truly a unique experience for every visitor.  Don’t forget to bring your camera and gear!
