Hike the Navajo Loop to Wall Street

HikingModerateSpringSummerYear-round

Descend into a narrow slot canyon surrounded by towering Douglas firs and glowing orange hoodoos in the heart of Bryce’s amphitheater.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Start your hike at Sunset Point and travel clockwise to ensure you experience the dramatic descent into the Wall Street switchbacks.
  • 2Allocate approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for the 1.3-mile loop to account for the steep 550-foot elevation gain on the return ascent.
  • 3Wear sturdy hiking boots with aggressive tread, as the loose limestone gravel on the switchbacks can be extremely slippery.
  • 4Utilize the free Bryce Canyon Shuttle to reach Sunset Point during peak season to avoid the frequently full parking lots.
  • 5Check the National Park Service website for 'Wall Street' closure status, as this specific section often closes in winter due to rockfall hazards.
  • 6Carry at least one liter of water per person even in cool weather, as the high altitude and dry air accelerate dehydration.
