Bryce Canyon National Park is one of Utah’s gems. It’s known for its distinct red, orange, and white geological formations called the hoodoos.
It has the largest collection of hoodoos in the world.

Queens Garden Navajo Loop Trail
Distance: 2.9 miles RT
Elevation: 580 ft down, and then 580 ft back up again
One of the best ways to explore Bryce Canyon is the combination of Queens Garden and Navajo Loop trail. Based on our research, the consensus on the internet is that clockwise is the better route. You’ll still be hiking through the breathtaking hoodoos so it doesn’t really matter which direction you take.
We left our car in the parking lot near Sunset Point and then started our hike clockwise along the rim to Sunrise Point.
You can see the trail winding down from the rim.
You’ll go through some tunnels.
Eventually, you will be greeted by the awe-inspiring view of the hoodoos.
You’ll also see some wildlife.

Be careful!
The hike up to Sunrise Point starts here. Switchbacks galore.
We saw an injured hiker being carried out of the canyon while we were on our way up. Make sure to wear proper footwear and bring enough water.
We’re back at the top (Sunrise Point)!
