Best months to visit Bryce Canyon, etc.?

I think this area is high country. I was wondering what are the best times to visit this area and have no chance of snow?

Been to Bryce multiple time, in my opinion the best park in Utah. For me the best time there was during the winter. No crowds, the peaks are amazing with the caps covered with snow, bald eagles flying around. May and September are nice, before and after the summer crowds.

I agree with StacyE. We went in Sept and the weather was perfect and the park was pretty much empty. We would even stop in the middle of the street to quickly take a picture. We could also get as many shots of a canyon or overlook without having to jockey for the best angle. I would imagine spring would also be a great time, just before school lets out. The entire area Utah is just breathtaking. It's one place were no matter how many curves you go around you just keep saying 'look at that' or 'isn't that beautiful'.

We were just there last Tuesday...just for the afternoon. Left Las Vegas where we were vacationing with relatives and drove over to Zion and Bryce as a day trip! We had camped there in July. Seeing it in October was wonderful! The daytime temp was around 60..sunny and windy. They said the nights were in the 30s. No snow...but I imagine it will be coming soon. In fact when we drove back to Vegas that night we had to detour over a 10k ft summit due to a rock slide. We were surrounded by snow on the ground..beautiful with a full moon shining on it! I'd love to go back to Bryce in the winter months!
