    #2 - Wall Street and Queens Garden Loop Trail
    Length: 3.2 miEst. 1h 35m
    Heavily trafficked combination trail loop weaving in and out of red rock formations through Bryce Canyon. Please note that the Wall Street portion of the trail is often closed throughout the year due to freezing overnight temperatures. Summer months are the best time to see Wall Street.

The Fairyland Loop Trail also includes a portion of the Rim Trail from Sunrise Point to Fairyland Point.

  • Navajo Loop Trail
    Moderate4.8(3762)
    #5 - Navajo Loop Trail
    Length: 1.5 miEst. 58m
    The Navajo Loop Trail is one of Bryce Canyon National Park’s most popular trails. The trailhead starts just across the street from Sunset Campground and begins by dropping down into the amphitheater and passing through "Wall Street," a narrow switchbacked slot canyon between sheer cliffs, with towering Douglas fir trees growing along the trail. The trail provides outstanding views of much-photographed Thor's Hammer - a tall, narrow pinnacle with a narrower neck, supporting a large...
  • Peekaboo Loop Trail
    Moderate4.8(4029)
    #6 - Peekaboo Loop Trail
    Length: 5.2 miEst. 3h 7m
    The Peek-A-Boo Loop Trail begins at Bryce Point and drops quickly to the canyon floor. The trail takes its name from the surprises that await around its many turns and elevation changes. While some consider this a more moderate hike, due to the rapid elevation change and the length this hike is considered hard. Hikers are cautioned to be aware that this trail is shared with horses. It is a mystical and inspiring experience so it’s no surprise that it is one of the most popular hiking trails...

  • Queen Victoria via Queen's Garden Trail
    Moderate4.7(1899)
    #9 - Queen Victoria via Queen's Garden Trail
    Length: 2.1 miEst. 1h 5m
    One of the park's most popular trails, the Queen's Garden trail descends and bends for about a mile along a ridgeline down to a unique hoodoo said to resemble Queen Victoria (be sure to travel down the spur trail at the bottom of the trail to see this hoodoo). The varied and colorful rock formations that surround this hoodoo, are described as many sculptures and other ornaments within the Queen's "Garden". Of the six trails that descend into the Bryce Amphitheater, the Queen's Garden Trail is...
  • Tower Bridge Trail
    Moderate4.6(1270)
    #10 - Tower Bridge Trail
    Length: 3.4 miEst. 1h 51m
    Great hike with a lot of variation in the landscape. As it is part of the Fairyland Loop, you can always extend it to make a longer hike but at the end of the day, just going out to Tower Bridge and back was a great hike to end with. There are some really nice views of the hoodoos. The trail is also fairly wide and even, not too many rocks, but a little snowy/muddy at the end of winter. The white sandstone against the sapphire sky was incredible. And across from that was this sea of red sand...

Navajo Loop and Queens Garden Trail
Wonderful trail! Really awesome hoodoos

Lots of people out hiking today. Amazing views! Plenty of shady spots with nice breezes to break up the heat

Fairyland Loop Trail
We hiked this counterclockwise and are grateful we did! The trail is very exposed to the sun, so I highly recommend starting this hike early in the morning during the warmer months. We stopped at the general store 2.5 miles in for bathrooms/water and took frequent photo/shade breaks. Be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen and lots of snacks/water. It took us 5 hours. Truly such a stunning trail.

Navajo Loop Trail
Absolutely loved walking up Wall Street. Good cadence to the mini switchback up it almost felt like stairs.

Peekaboo Loop Trail
The trail is well maintained and well marked. It is definitely a strenuous trail with lots of rolling elevation changes. Bring lots of water and expect it to take longer than planned.
