Where Should I go: Montego Bay or Bryce Canyon National Park?
Montego Bay
As with most places around the tropical oasis of Jamaica, Montego Bay (or "MoBay") is an ideal place to visit for a Caribbean getaway. It is Jamaica's second largest city and the capital of St. James parish on the northern coast. Montego Bay is considered to be the tourist capital of the country and is where the largest airport is located, bringing in many international travelers.
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."
