2. The Sunset Point To Sunrise Point Hike

This easy paved walking trail is part of the larger Rim Trail. This one-mile, out-and-back walk leads along the top of Bryce Canyon and overlooks the amphitheater and the hoodoos. It also provides you with great photo opportunities for little time and comparatively little effort.  

Experts say that on a clear day, you’ll even be able to see Navajo Mountain which is 80 miles away. Indeed, from this tiny trail, you will also see portions of the previously mentioned Queen’s Garden trail as it meanders ‘long the ridges to the left, and the numerous Navajo Loop Trail switchbacks to the right.

 

3. The Fairyland Loop Hike

Want a longer hike? This one is a total of eight miles. The elevation gain is almost 2,300 feet. It’s rated “strenuous” due to the elevation and distance.  

You can begin the trek from either Fairyland or Sunrise Point but starting at the latter will add more distance. You could also take a quick detour to Tower Bridge, although it could also serve as a separate hike. The Fairyland Loop will take you along ridges and through hoodoos where you’ll enjoy awesome views and close looks at fantastic formations. The cream, gold, orange, and pink tints are quite vibrant on this trail.
