Best Hikes In Bryce Canyon National Park

Tower Bridge Trail

The 3-mile Tower Bridge Trail starts at Sunrise Point and drops steeply to the Tower Bridge site. From Tower Bridge, it connects with the Fairyland Trail for a much longer and more strenuous — but spectacular — day hike.

Fairyland Loop Trail

Probably the most spectacular trail in the park, the Fairyland Loop Trail starts at the Fairyland Point, just off the Rim Trail. The 8-mile loop passes by fantastic hoodoos along the rim and into the canyon, offering incredible views at every turn. At least six elevation changes and its length make this trail difficult, though it’s not as steep as the Peek-A-Boo Trail.

Make sure you carry plenty of water, use sunscreen, and wear a wide-brimmed hat when hiking this trail.

Hat Shop Trail

The 4-mile round-trip Hat Shop Trail starts at Bryce Point and makes a steep descent to just under the rim. Less popular than other trails, it offers views of a cluster of balanced-rock hat-shaped hoodoos.

Pro Tip: Considering its very steep descent, this trail is hard on the knees. Use good walking poles if you decide to attempt it.
