7 Best Hikes in Bryce Canyon National Park

June 23, 2021 • Bryce Canyon National Park • Utah

Few National Parks in the country have as much packed into a small space as Bryce Canyon National Park. To get out and really see the park, though, it’s important to get off the road and get immersed in the Hoodoos.

To help, we’ve put together this guide on the Best Hikes in Bryce Canyon National Park. Though it’s a bit challenging to pick out only a few, we’re confident this list of day hikes will help you out as you plan your trip to Bryce Canyon National Park.

Bristlecone Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park

February 29, 2020 • Bryce Canyon National Park • Utah

The Bristlecone Loop Trail is an easy hike that includes Rainbow Point and Yovimpa Point. From these vantage points you have different (and great!) views. Plus, along the way you’ll be among the twisty Bristlecone Pines. While you won’t have the same breathtaking experience as you will on the Queens Garden and Navajo Loop Trail, we highly recommend heading out here, getting out of the car and taking this short walk to see a different part of Bryce Canyon!

When a national monument gains “national park” status, are they guaranteed to receive an immediate boost in attendance in the following years?

Is there such thing as a “National Park Effect?”

What will happen with attendance at the nation's newest National Parks in the next few years?

Mossy Cave Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park

October 19, 2019 • Bryce Canyon National Park • Utah

Many people come to Bryce Canyon National Park to see the hoodoos, but few make their way over to the Water Canyon area and hike the Mossy Cave Trail. This part of the park may seem remote, but it is relatively close to the main section of Bryce Canyon and very much worth the time it takes to get here.

This hike includes a cave (with cool temperatures that will surprise you), a gorgeous waterfall, hoodoos and even an arch. In fact, few hikes in Bryce Canyon even have a little bit of water, so this trail is actually quite a unique experience.

This hike is fantastic for families, and highly recommended if you have the time while visiting this picturesque park.

Hiking the Queens Garden and Navajo Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park

August 18, 2018 • Bryce Canyon National Park • Utah

Over 2.6-million people visited Bryce Canyon National Park and took in the beauty of the hoodoos. One thing particularly nice about Bryce Canyon is that you don’t have to hike far to take breathtaking photos-you can get them right from the rim of the canyon. However, if you want to really get steeped in the beauty without having to work too hard, the Queens Garden combined with the Navajo Loop Trail is the hike to take!
