What should I expect the weather to be?
Summer days at Bryce Canyon National Park are enjoyable with temperatures lying between 73° - 80°F. The nights get cold dipping into the mid 30°'s to low 40°'s. Afternoon thundershowers are a common occurrence halfway through the summer season. During the spring and fall the weather varies. Winters are cold dropping into sub-zero temperatures. The yearly snowfall is around 100 inches.
Since the sun can burn year-round in high altitude, wearing long sleeves, hats and sunscreen is recommended. We also recommend Layered clothing to protect against the plateau's temperature extremes and common powerful winds.
We advise you to check weather Web sites for current forecasts as the weather can fluctuate.

Since you don't have a waitlist, should I check back every day for a cancellation?
Cancellations do occur; however, they can occur at random with limited success in obtaining the dates and accommodations desired. If your first choice is not available, rather than scheduling your vacation around the possibility of a cancellation, we recommend checking alternate dates instead. If you want to continue to check for cancellations, you may do so by visiting our Check Availability - Book Online page.

Currently our online reservation system will only allow modifications or cancellations to reservations booked initially on our Web site.
