    In the Queen's Garden
    Shayla B.

    An absolute masterpiece! Not only is the Queen's Garden immaculate, but the trail leading up to it is amazing too. You'll have to really use your imagination to see Queen Victoria in this hoodoo garden. To me it honestly resembles a castle of some sort. The formations are seriously breathtaking! The easiest and shortest way to reach the Queen's Garden is by starting at Sunrise Point and hiking down. It's short but steep. However, if you really want to experience a fabulous hike to the garden, I'd highly recommend doing the figure 8 combination hike. This hike combines the Navajo Loop and Peekaboo Loop trails starting from Wall Street and ending at the Queen's Garden. A fair warning; the figure 8 combination hike isn't the slight bit of easy. But honestly, ending it with the views of the Queen's Garden and Sunrise Point is like the icing on the cake. It's a MUST see if you're coming to Bryce Canyon in my opinion. That and of course, Wall Street amongst many other landmarks. These garden-like hoodoos are simply stunning.

    By far the most beautiful thing I have seen in nature. The hoodoos and the trees are magical to look at. The surroundings that you take in are hard to describe and pictures do not do it justice. I could spend all day walking around Bryce Canyon National Park

    The Queens Garden Trail beginning at Sunrise Point, descending 320 feet (98m), is considered the least difficult trail entering the canyon from the rim. But "least difficult" doesn't mean easy, particularly coming up Traveling this trail you will see many hoodoos, representative of garden like features. Using your imagination you may be able to see Queen Victoria at the end of a short spur trail, overseeing the garden before her. It's a must trail at Bryce Canyon.

    Love love love this hike! Even though this hike was rated moderate, I was able to conquer it! If someone who never exercises can make it through... Anyone can! We came here right after a thunderstorm and was a bit wary of the slippery slopes. But it was not bad at all! And the view is breathtaking!

    We actually found the Queen's Garden trail at the turnaround point for the Navajo Loop Trail. Since we descended down the Navajo Trail in 0.8 miles, that means we face a long, grinding, gradual uphill climb 1.6 miles to get back up to the rim. The Queen's Garden Trail seemed more open and spacious compared to the Navajo Trail. Its a much longer hike and we were thankful for all the stone/wooden log benches to catch our breath. Near the end of the trail, there were some cool mountains on the horizon that looked like they had tanlines! You can also see this large hoodoo near the Sunrise Point that looks like a raised fist. That might be Thor's Hammer. If I had a chance to do the entire trip again, I think the correct sequence is to start at Sunrise Point, walk down Queen's Garden Trail, and then walk up Navajo Trail to wind up at Sunset Point.

    Started at Sunrise point and walked down. Be careful: the way down can be slippery at times because of the descent so have gripping shoes on. The hike is not that long and the way down you will get amazing viewpoints and plenty of photo-opps. The hike also diverges into Navajo trail or Horsepoint trail if you want to take those. I think the best part of the Queen's trail is the way down because you get pretty stunning views. Otherwise, the end is pretty subtle and catches you offguard. I actually went: what, is that it? Lol but the hike up will get you on the way back up especially if you are like me and get out of breath with elevation lol but still pretty moderate hike - good for any fitness level.

    Another great hiking trail in Bryce Canyon. Lots of stunning views and picture taking opportunities. Moderate difficulty for out of shape person like me. This is a popular hiking trail, so it can get crowded.

    As the name clearly states, the trail leads to Queen's Garden. It is named after a rock formation that supposedly resembles Queen Victoria and the garden she is overseeing. It is a unique part of the park. It is also connected to the trail I took back up to the top of the Rim at Sunrise Point to complete the unofficial Figure 8 loop. Moreover, if you only wanted to take a short trek into the canyon, it is definitely the easiest trail to hike down and back up among the options. Regardless, it provides its own unique and special vantage points of the canyon and its hoodoos. If you are visiting and planning a trip to Bryce Canyon and looking for recommendations, feel free to message me for my itinerary. You can also find the electronic copy through the link my profile.

    Bryce Canyon is unique compare to Zion or Grand Canyon. There are few loop trails to see most of the park but you can combine them and do a longer hike. We took the shuttle to Bryce Point, started at the Peekaboo loop (clockwise) merge onto the Navajo loop (counterclockwise) to Sunrise point and continue to Sunset point. Entire hike is around 5 miles. Elevation change around 1500 ft probably take 3 to 5 hours. Enjoy!

    Starting the descent down Queen's Garden if going clockwise.

We stopped at the Visitor Center to learn about the protected prairie dogs that reside in the park. This was a special focus that day. They had tables where you can learn about the varieties of prairie dogs in the US as well as why the ones in the park are endangered. We then got to use their provided binoculars to view some of the prairie dogs that live near the visitor center. The highlight of our day was taking a horseback ride. Definitely look into this as an added activity during your visit!

We first visited Capitol Reef, then Bryce, then Zion. I am glad we did it in that order. I will share my favorite hike, whether I thought the Queen's Garden Trail was worth It and a must-do. The park is 6,600 - 9,000 ft above sea level, so be prepared for less oxygen by walking on a inclined treadmill or hills and colder weather. We spent one day arriving around 8 am to get a parking space. I greatly enjoyed the Sunrise Point to Sunset Point Rim Trail (easy trail)- great for non-hikers, flat, paved and different view of the hoodoos. It is about 1 mile and wheel chair friendly. Midway is a sign to the Bryce lodge. That provides a nice stop for lunch. We had good hamburgers. We did the Queen's Garden trail which descends farther down into the hoodoos, you walk past a few down. It is more gradual than the Navajo Loop and easier of the two. It is 1.8 miles round trip and can take an hour each way depending on how well you do climbs coming up especially at 8,000 - 9,000 ft with less oxygen. I saw a man pushing a wheelchair with his mother down the Queen's Garden Trail. I wouldn't want to be in that chair without a seatbelt and just in case the man's hands slips. I hope he made his way up pushing that chair, since I imagine that was super hard up the steep inclines. I don't enjoy hiking or hills, so for me, it wasn't worth the effort walking back up Queen's Garden Trail and I had been training on a treadmill with a 13 degree incline for a few weeks; I turned around before I made it to the bottom. Looking down at Navajo Loop later, although steeper, I think it would have taken me more into the hoodoo level. My husband did the Figure 8 loop which is both trails. He said after Queen's Garden, there was a boring area then several up and down the hills below before you got to the Navajo Loop. The Wall St section was closed, so look for warnings before you go. A must do is to drive to Rainbow point at 9,115 ft and then stop on the way back. If you are pressed for time, the best stops were: - Natural Bridge - Biggest, tallest natural bridge I have ever seen. - Inspiration Point - 8,100 ft - the columns and rows of hoodoos was beautiful - Bryce Point (must do) - you can see both Sunset and Sunrise points and have the most panoramic view If you have time, stop in the Visitor Center with a small gift shop and watch the short film on how the hoodoos are formed. Bryce Canyon is a unique, bucket list kind of experience and whether you are a non-hiker who loves nature or enjoy challenges of hills and hiking, there is something for everyone.

    Wow... now THAT'S what I call a hike!!! This loop is rated as "moderate" on AllTrails, but it's…read moredefinitely on the harder side of moderate. But the amazing views of the unique hoodoos are what makes this hike worth the trek. Whether you start clockwise or counterclockwise, you are definitely in for a serious workout. The trail is about 6.5 miles long and is a double loop that connects to Wall Street and the Queens Garden via the Navajo and Peekaboo Loop trails. The double loop is where it gets its' name "figure 8 combo". This is a great hike that incorporates so many wonderful highlights within the park since you really get a little bit of everything. I started this hike going counterclockwise from Sunset Point. Connected to the Navajo Loop and took a right down the switchbacks which will lead you to Wall Street. Wall Street is a gorgeous stretch of slot canyons that's honestly a must see if you're coming to Bryce. From there, the trail mellows out and opens up into a a gorgeous canyon filled with beautiful green trees and the cutest little chipmunks. I continued on the Navajo Loop Trail until I connected o the Peekaboo loop. This is where those inclines start to really hit. I climbed up to the top of peekaboo canyon until I reached a plateau that granted me 360 degree views of the stunning hoodoos that surrounded me. The peekaboo trail is also a popular trail for horseback riders, and many of them did pass me by on the trail. From here, I descended back down into the canyon and then back up through more of the marvelous hoodoos. I'd say this stretch of the Peekaboo trail is the most majestic because you literally have these gorgeous rock formations right at your fingertips and it's so insane. I took the Peekaboo loop to the Queens Garden trail. This was my absolute favorite and another amazing landmark that must not be missed. It literally looks like a castle. So crazy that these rock formations are naturally occurring like this. The last and final stretch is extremely tough. It's a steep incline all the way up to Sunrise Point. And let me tell you, EVERYONE who was near me going up this stretch was struggling. It was grueling, but the best part was being rewarded with the magnificent views of Sunrise Point at the top. Plus, the little chipmunks were just so damn cute. Definitely one of the most enjoyable National Park hikes that I've ever done. I feel like I saw so much of the park during this one hike alone. Would absolutely 1000% recommend, but bring lots of water and sunscreen if you're attempting this during the summertime.

This trail took about 4 hours. Started at Sunset Point and ended up at Sunrise Point. Loved the beginning of the Navajo Trail as it takes you down into the Amphitheatre and close to the hoodoos. The bottom with the trees unfortunately was less scenic and often times your views were obstructed by the trees. There were lots of nice arches within the hoodoos to pose in along the trail, and depending on when you go, there were numerous ice patches that remained on the trail during various parts of the Peek-A-Boo trail. The section that intersects Queens Garden was less interesting in the beginning but was well worth it as you got closer to the trailhead at Sunrise Point.

I usually rise about an hour before sunrise, brew a cup of coffee, unless it's already waiting at the front desk, throw on some layers, and make my way to the rim to see what the sky has in store. This point offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the Bryce Amphitheater, where thousands of hoodoos ignite in fiery hues as the morning sun climbs. With each passing minute, the colors shift and the sky begins to paint itself. It's quiet and peaceful.

We understand what it means to be here, to witness a moment that will live in our hearts long after the day has passed.

With 360 degree panoramic views of the natural hoodoos at 8,300 feet of elevation, Bryce Point provides some of the best views that you'll be able to see within the park. I'm talking jaw dropping ladies and gents! The natural hoodoo amphitheater literally surrounds this very viewpoint. Bryce Point is also the starting and ending point for several popular hiking trails including the Rim Trail. This is very popular landmark as you can imagine, and it can get pretty busy. Despite this, there's plenty of parking and lots of space for to take pictures or just to simply enjoy the view. There's a paved walkway that will lead you all the way down to the vista point area. It gets SUPER windy down there! In the summertime, the wind feels perfect. But, I can imagine that it would be freezing during the spring and winter. Hold on to your hats and phones because it can definitely get blustery. Everything about Bryce Point is amazing. If you're making a visit out to Bryce Canyon, make sure to make a stop at Bryce Point before you leave.

    Most southerly overlook of the four -- majestic views!…read more I don't recall setting foot and seeing the views from this rim the first time we came to Bryce Canyon [2012]. It took us a third try to be able to drive in, find parking and actually walk to the view point. Parking is controlled by the park rangers and when the parking spots are filled to its capacity they close off the entrance so no one can get in until some cars leave. The view point is just a short walk from the parking lot. Bryce Point is part of the Bryce Amphitheater which is the first three miles of the park. Naturally, people would crowd these spots first when entering the park since the most iconic and popular views are found along the rim. It was super windy here so hold on to your hats, personal belongings and your toupee! There are a couple of hiking trails found here but we were just up for the views and, indeed, they are spectacular. It is a popular spot to watch the sunrise. We saw amazing hoodoo formations and cliffs from the rim of the amphitheater. It was our last stop as we were getting exhausted from visits to the other view points earlier in the day but, if interested, these two trails can be found here at Bryce Point. These are definitely not our level as they are labeled "strenuous" 1] Peekaboo Loop [5-1/2 miles] - steep and most of the hike is spent below the rim. Estimate 3-4 hours at 1571 feet elevation. 2] Bryce Amphitheater Traverse [4.7 miles] - descend from Bryce Point and ascend to Sunrise Point. Estimate 3-4 hours at 1010 feet elevation. Review #1810
