The document presents the results of a road system evaluation study for Bryce Canyon National Park, including a proposal for road and parking improvements. The study is comprehensive in that all roads in the park are evaluated; however, the primary emphasis is on the major park road - the entrance/Rainbow Point/rim road (route 10) - and associated parking areas. The following management objectives will guide road improvements and maintenance activities: enhance the experience for visitors traveling on the Bryce Canyon road system, encourage leisurely travel through the park, protect critical natural and cultural resources, reduce maintenance needs, maintain and increase safety, facilitate interpretation of park resources, reduce the impacts of facilities next to the canyon rim, protect visitors from vehicular intrusions, both sights and sounds, as part of their viewing experience, minimize adverse impacts of construction activities, protect endangered and threatened species, reduce existing road scars and improve the aesthetics of the road, consider existing and projected visitor use levels and vehicle types, and retain the option of implementing a visitor transportation system in the future.
