6. The Navajo Trail
The well-known Navajo Trail beginning at Sunset Point will lead you through topography similar to that of the Queen’s Garden. You will find towering, multi-colored hoodoos rising up all around you. Hike through the attractive amphitheater, beneath Sunset Point.
The main difference between the pair is that the 1.3-mile Navajo Trail hike has a greater elevation gain, 550 feet, over a series of switchbacks. It is also generally steeper. While the park rates it as a moderately difficult hike, others claim if you hike slowly, it’s easy.
7. The Bristlecone Pines Hike
This one-mile loop trail hike provides you the opportunity to see something you don’t normally see much of in Utah, Bristlecone pine trees. Some of these ancient trees are over 1,800 years old. See the blue spruce, Douglas and white firs, and wildlife too.
This easy hike starts at the scenic drive’s south end in Rainbow Point. While the elevation here in the park climbs to 9,100 feet, the trail has an elevation gain of under 200 feet. Snow does linger here due to cooler temperatures. So don’t plan on completing this hike in the winter or even the early spring.
