There weren't many restaurants open on a Sunday at 6pm which was disappointing. It's also a liquor free town on Sunday, as the state sponsored wine & liquor stop is closed on Sundays. I usually like to have a nightly glass or two of wine to help relax me before bed, so that was a bit of a bummer. I didn't get to experience much of town as it was heavily snowing and winter so much of the city appeared to be closed, including gas stations! I did see lots of hotels/motels. There are two grocery stores, and a Sizzler along the Main Street. Watch your speed as it is only 30 miles I think through town. Noticed lots of college age kids at the grocery store. This is probably a better town to visit when the weather is nicer as there appears to be lots to do nearby.

We came here for a couple of good reasons. 1st, my wife is a fan of the show "Sister Wives" and one…read moreof the cast members owns an AB&B in this city named Parowan. Because it is sort of in the was to Moab, we had to stop here. Plus, I'm a fan of all things ancient and there's that here too! Now, saw what you want about the tv show, the place that the cast member shares is really cute looking. I'll get the pic here later. The town is a small version of every other big Utah town. The way they number and name their streets seem to be similar in most places. If you go to the other side of the city, across town, to the outer edge, you will find petroglyphs. I like those things. Ok, and from here to Moab there are other evidence of ancient things. You know, hundreds of millions of years old. Evidence that the places you are standing in this desert once was a tropical rain forest. Pretty cool place. Hundreds of millions of years old. Love that!

That is what makes the area special. It's modern enough and popular enough to do a simple appeal to visitors, but whomps you with the nature, friendly residents and beauty. Lots of fun stops. Interesting local beers. Good hikes.

Again, I'm going to state since this is a four star review, I'm typically not going less than four…read morestars on a city review .... everyone goes to a city with an intention of doing something and it is typically catered to your specific likes. So, why the deduct of one star for Bryce Canyon City? Well, let's be honest Bryce Canyon is why someone is coming here .... seriously the only reason. Bryce Canyon would get a rating higher than 5 stars if possible. The city, however, isn't quite what we expected. Small is an understatement! There is very little here, again, that's find .... the reason you are here is to go to the canyon. But, that being said, there is a huge lack of places to eat and should you be camping in the area and want groceries, not really great options either. There are a few places, they all close early so plan accordingly. Now, the people, were all really nice ... why wouldn't you be, living as close to a national park as they do. All in all, highly recommend, but it's for the Canyon not for the city.

Towering peaks all around, limestone canyon just west of town, cradling the Santa Clara river as it meanders toward the volcanic cones just below in Veyo and beyond. A small alpine lake is a few miles eastward out of the "town" just beyond the boundary of Pine Valley Recreation Area. The only reason I have taken a star away is purely for the fact there are NO FACILITIES within 15 miles of the town. Other than that, it is idyllic, quaint, evocative and quizzical in its very being.
