Welcome to TropicTropic, nestled in the valley of the red cliffs of Bryce Canyon National Park, a community, whose name reflects the beautiful fruit blossoms in the spring, green grass of summer, and the brilliant colors of fall. In Winter…. A blanket of snow covers the community, quietly giving rest. The climate is relatively mild, with the last frost usually occurring in the latter part of April and begins freezing in Mid-October.
