Navajo Loop

Navajo loop was a great hike. We did this hike after a few days in Zion.
The Navajo loop was about 1.3 miles long. The combination of the queens trail and Navajo is 3 miles combined and it’s suppose to be the most popular trail in the park.
While hiking we got to see the hoodoos and lots of nature of course.
Squirrels running around while hiking.
I’d consider this a moderate hike. We saw older people hiking and even families with kids.
If you are only up for one hike you should hike the queens/​Navajo loop combination.

Really nice trails and natural area with awesome views!
Cool area for hiking with friends or family.
Hudu rock formations here are pretty cool. Erosion has weathered away entire rock formations into these spires.
The Ute Indians believe a trickster coyote tricked the ancients and turn them into these stone spires and call them «ancient ones»…

A great and at times, very challenging hike in Bryce Canyon. Part of the loop is Wall Street, which is a part of the canyon you walk through that features tall hoodoos and walls towering about you. This part of the trail is routinely closed in the wintertime though, due to concerns about falling rock. Depending on which way you take this loop, the other half is either steep uphill or downhill switchbacks. Either way, you start at the top of the canyon, descend into the canyon, and then emerge again at the top (after some huffing and puffing).
I combined Navajo Loop with the Queen’s Garden and the Peekaboo loop to hike the «Figure of 8» which is an approximately 6.5 mile hike with some steep elevation gains. This was a great half day hike and it took you through some major parts of the Bryce Amphitheater canyon.

This was my favorite hike from our entire national parks tour. We only did half of the loop since the other part was still closed in early April due to snow and ice. When they say it’s closed in Winter, they mean part of Spring, too. We started our journey at Sunset Point, went down Navajo Loop, then met up with the Queen’s Garden and ended at Sunrise Point. Do this hike and you will see lots of really interesting things. We were all intrigued by the hoodoos, for sure. It was a great experience! Such a beautiful place.

We were in Bryce for 3 days in our week long national park road trip and based on the recommendations of the visitor center, we decided to combine both the Navajo loop trail and queens garden. Since both hubby n me love taking pictures this hike took us nearly half a day, but to truly experience Bryce, you have to do this hike. It’s a moderate hike with lots of peaks n troughs and troughs and will require good shoes, snacks, sunscreen a hat and lots of water. We were here in the last week of Aug and the park was crowded as it’s the most popular time to visit, however we began our hike right after watching the sunrise and hence didn’t encounter too many people on the trails a few were living in the park and didn’t need to park so no review on parking situation.
The hike itself is very interesting as you venture into the canyon, and begin to notice hoodoos in all shapes and forms. The play of light on them is spectacular and to be able to view the top of the canyon standing in the canyon is a different perspective altogether. Going into the queens garden, it’s stunning how the hood is are formed in that form and how the queen looks down upon us overall, a must do recommend if you have the time and the energy!

This is one of the most popular hikes in Bryce Canyon National Park. Usually people would combine Najavo Loop with Queens Garden. My friends and I were on a time crunch so we decided to just stick with Najavo Loop. Note, this is not a loop in the winter time. Because this is a popular hike, the parking lot fills up really fast! We got there around 3pm and was lucky to found a spot after driving around for a couple mins.
Start at Sunset Point and follow the signs for Navajo Loop. On this trail, you get to see the Two Bridges, Thors Hammer and the bottom of Wall Street. This is a short but steep trail. It is approximately 1.8 miles and is about a 1 – 2 hour (s) hike. Immediately you are within the hoodoos and there are plenty of opportunities to take photos. Wall Street, a narrow canyon area, was super cool. Be aware of the switchbacks, this is where it gets steep. Overall, it was a great hike and I can definitely see why this is a popular hike. You get to see a lot in this hike and it’s just so cool to be surrounded by the hoodoos and cool rock formations.

Unbelievable hike. Very strenuous but with some of the most stunning views. Didn’t think we’d make it up Wall Street but what a feeling of accomplishment when we made it to top.

Phenomenal hike into the «bowl» of Bryce Canyon. Lots of switchbacks, steep downhill, and rough uphill (ahem, I mean it when I say bowl) so be sure you can physically do it! The loop is 1.3 miles and it is an absolute pleasure hiking amongst the hoodoos and Queens Garden. The rock formations and crevices were the best I saw in Utah!

This place is magical. Just about 1 mile round trip. The trail is nicely paved and the route is designed perfectly for the hikers visual enjoyment. A must if you come to Bryce.

Absolutely not to miss if your near Bryce. Spectacular views and an easy 1.3 mile loop trail from the rim down into the canyon. Not for the weak or elderly, it was simple enough. Bring a small bottle of water and a camera. Just incredible.

Did the trails queen garden and Navajo loop. Started at sunrise point and went up to sunrise point the Great Wall way. Overall a beautiful hike with views you wouldn’t believe! It was long and the ending was hard going up the switchbacks after already doing about 3 miles. Make sure to go to the bathroom before and bring snacks and plenty of water! It took us a while because my friend and I kept stopping to take pictures so a lot for an appropriate amount of time. Queens garden didn’t make too much sense to us because there really weren’t that many plants that I would call it a garden. But you do definitely go down into the hoodoos and the views of the rock are incredible. We also attempted to watch the sunset but because it was cloudy/​stormy we ended up seeing a lightening storm instead. Who can complain!

This is a fantastic hike into the depths of the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. It is so worth the effort. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
As impressive as Bryce is from the top, it is even better from the floor.
We made the loop with the Queens Garden Trail. Each is unique and the combo means no back-​tracking. It is only a half mile or so longer and one is no more difficult than the other.
You start at Sunrise and wind up at Sunset Point (or reverse). So you will have to walk another half mile along the rim to get back to your vehicle. But, that is a walk you will want to do anyway.
I let my wife out at Sunrise and parked at Sunset and did the level walk while I was still fresh. Was glad to see the truck after all the switchbacks getting to the top.
The trail is well marked and maintained. But, the switchbacks at either end can be tough on you. (Says the old (68) guy who spent the winter making couch potatoes look like marathoners!!)
But, take your time and it will be a bucket list memory. This is one trip that is definitely more about the journey than the destination!
ENJOY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! YOU WON’T BE SORRY!

Definitely one of the greatest hikes I have ever done. Descending down into the midst of the hoodoos is a magical experience. Looking at them from above just isn’t enough – you need to see them from below! Despite the steep descent into the canyon, this hike really isn’t terribly challenging. You will, though, need good shoes, especially in the winter when the trail can be icy and muddy.

My husband and I, we’re blown away by the views on this hike. It is actually our new favorite of any hikes we have done before. Skill level is easy, I did this pregnant. However, it can be a little slippery in winter with the snow.
I just can’t give words to the beauty of this place. It’s just amazing. Do this hike!!!

Easy to moderate hike, trail is well maintained. If you only have a half day to spend in Bryce. Take this trail and it will lead you to an amazing descent going through the hoodoos continue thru the loop and you’ll be walking beside hoodoos and the ascent to the sunset point has different beautiful views too. We did this trail twice coz it crosses the peekaboo and queen’s garden trail. you’ll pass by the double bridge too!
