If you join our team here at Bryce Canyon National Park, you’ll have the opportunity to live in a place that some only dream of visiting. We are known for our hoodoos (irregular columns of rock), which exist here in vibrant abundance! Hoodoos can be found on every continent, but here is the largest concentration found anywhere on Earth. Situated along a high plateau at the top of the Grand Staircase, the park’s high elevations include numerous life communities, fantastic dark skies, and geologic wonders that defy description.
If this sounds enticing to you…read on!
Staff and visitors alike are regularly taken aback by the astounding landscape that is Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyon is not a single canyon, but a series of natural amphitheaters or bowls, carved into the edge of a high plateau.
While Bryce Canyon is an unparalleled place to live and work, it does have its own set of challenges. We welcome over two million visitors annually. This visitation is concentrated to hiking adventures and viewpoints largely located along the 18-mile scenic drive, and getting a coveted spot in one of our campgrounds can get pretty tricky in the height of summer visitation. Patience, tact, and empathy are key to successful operations here in Bryce.
