Where Should I go: Bryce Canyon National Park or Victoria?
Bryce Canyon National Park
As one of Utah's most popular national parks, Bryce Canyon National Park is over 35,000 acres of breathtaking geological wonders. While it's not actually a canyon, Bryce Canyon is a giant natural amphitheater created by years of erosion.
With 200 miles of visibility, world-class air quality and near-perfect weather from April until October, it's easy to see why this park attracts over one million visitors every year. The series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters includes rocks of many colors and unique formations such as slot canyons and spires known as "hoodoos."
Victoria
The capital city of British Columbia, Canada, Victoria is positioned near the southern edge of Vancouver Island. It's a wonderfully pleasant city and has been nicknamed the Garden City because of its vast green space and public gardens. There is a population of just over 80,000 in the city proper and almost 350,000 in the greater metropolitan area. Dating back to 1843, it's also one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest. As such, it has many historic buildings and beautiful architecture. It also has the second oldest Chinatown in North America, following San Francisco's.
