Each evening illustrated talks are given by members of the staff, who also conduct short hiking trips into Bryce Canyon every day of the summer season, according to schedules posted by the naturalist service. Visitors are urged to use these facilities, which are provided free of charge by the Government. Museum At park headquarters the National Park Service has established an official information office and museum which is open daily throughout the main travel season. Here park visitors may secure information and free publications regarding this and other national parks. The museum exhibits cover such subjects as geology, biology, archeology, and history. The Zion-Bryce Natural History Association maintains a stock of publications, maps, and transparency slides which are for sale at reasonable prices in the museum. They are designed to assist in a better understanding and appreciation of the region. Free Public Campgrounds An attractive public auto camp, maintained by the Government, is open from about April 15 to November 15; however, these dates vary according to weather conditions. Pure water and sanitary conveniences are provided, and groceries and campers’ supplies may be purchased at the Bryce Camp store. Camping is limited to 30 days a year for each party. For those not carrying their own equipment and desiring to visit the park after the closing dates of the lodge and camp, there are camps near the park where accommodations can be found at any time of the year. Accommodations An attractive lodge is operated by the Utah Parks Co. from about May 30 to September 25. It consists of a central building and cabins. The cabins are standard and deluxe types, the latter having private bath, porch, and fireplace.

The cabins are equipped with electricity, running water, double beds, table, sink, shelves, and chairs.
