Back to Bryce Canyon National Park




At Bryce we hiked the Queens/Navajo Combination Loop. In the visitors guide it is called "World's best 3-mile hike!". For me this hike tied for best hike of our trip (with The Narrows at Zion). You leave from Sunrise Point and see the Queens Garden. We cut up through Wall Street which recently opened after being closed for 18 months due to a rock slide and end up at Sunset Point. As you walk along the trail you see shapes of things in the hoodoos. Thor's Hammer, E.T.'s finger, Queen Victoria to name a few. It was lightly sprinkling on us, of course, but it cleared soon enough. It was interesting walking through the hoodoos and then wooded areas. After the hike we ate our lunch in the picnic area at Sunset Point.
