4Hike to Cassidy Arch
Torrey is the site for this scenic out-and-back adventure. The total distance is just over three miles. The elevation gain is 1,283 feet. While it’s often said that the lengthy, more demanding hikes are worth the effort, this trip provides a stunning payoff as you stand atop the arch following a short hike with but a minimal amount of scrambling.
You can also explore the awesome overlooks of popular Capitol Reef National Park, and if you’re a shutterbug, get some great shots of the cool rock formations and the striking dark night sky here. The Fruita Campground is available if you choose to do some camping while you’re there as well.
5Hike the Navajo Loop & Queens Garden Trail
This hiking trip is based in Bryce. Depending on your choices, you’ll hike a distance of between 2.93 and three and a half miles. The elevation gain here is 679 feet.
No matter which trail you use to see the famous hoodoos in Bryce Canyon, this loop hike is said to be one of the very best ways to do it. The Navajo trail which actually starts at popular Sunset Point includes a lot of switchbacks but gets you to the bottom in a comparatively short time. It’s well-traveled so while you won’t be alone, it confirms our recommendation. Don’t hike here in the winter unless you like snow.
