16Hike the Loop Trail at Natural Bridges National Monument
Slotting in next on our list of must-do hikes in Southern Utah is this loop trail trek to this well-known U.S. National Monument situated roughly 50 miles northwest of the famous Four Corners boundary of the southeast part of the state. While hiking around this area can take anywhere between a mere matter of minutes or an entire day, this hike has an entire distance of almost nine miles. It is a moderately difficult hike with an elevation gain of 560 feet. This is yet another hike that can be done from either end. It’s just a matter of personal preference.
17Hike the Riggs Spring Loop
If you’re spending some time in Bryce Canyon, consider completing this hike as well. Indeed, this is a great place to not only hike but to do some backcountry camping too. This loop trail hike in one of the nation’s most scenic national parks is almost nine months.
It has an elevation gain of 2,044 feet. The views here in Bryce Canyon National Park are nigh-unparalleled and also offer exceptional opportunities for noteworthy nighttime photography. Hiking the rugged Riggs Spring Loop allows you to escape the crowds. The preferred trailhead is at the Rainbow Point overlook. Enjoy seeing the superb sight of the sun setting on the signature pink cliffs!
