Hike the Navajo Loop and Queen’s Garden Trail

HikingModerateSpringSummerYear-round

Descend from Sunset Point into the heart of Bryce Canyon’s hoodoos, passing through the towering walls of Wall Street and the iconic Queen Victoria spire.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Start at Sunset Point and hike clockwise to finish with a less strenuous ascent at Sunrise Point.
  • 2Allocate 2.5 to 3 hours to account for the 600-foot elevation change and frequent photo stops.
  • 3Wear footwear with aggressive tread, as the fine limestone dust on switchbacks can be extremely slippery.
  • 4Carry at least two liters of water per person, as there are no refill stations once you descend below the rim.
  • 5Use the free park shuttle to reach Sunset Point during peak months to avoid the congested parking lots.
  • 6Check the status of the 'Wall Street' section at the visitor center, as it often closes in winter due to rockfall risk.
