![]() I truly believe Peekaboo Loop is one of the best hikes in Bryce Canyon and most underrated. But once on the loop you’ll find it easy-going with only the occasional incline. This connector trail is extremely steep and the most difficult part of this hike. Peekaboo Loop itself is 3.0 miles but with the distance of the connector trail from Bryce Point it is more like 5.5 miles total. From here there is a trail that leads you down to connect to the loop portion of the hike. To hike Peekaboo Loop you’ll drive and park at Bryce Point which is another great viewpoint within the park. While most visitors flock to Navajo/Queen’s Garden Loop, the few who do venture out to Peekaboo Loop are spoiled with solitude and other striking views. You’ll end your hike at Sunrise Point and hike the 0.5 miles along the Rim Trail to loop back to Sunset Point where you started. Queen’s Garden Trail leads you through the best sections of spire-like hoodoos and allows you to walk through archways. Turn left to loop onto the Queen’s Garden trail and from here on out things get really interesting. The Navajo Trail intersects with the Queen’s Garden and Connector Trail. It is a nice mini side excursion that may give you a minute or two of solitude. These natural bridges are stacked on top of one another and were formed from erosion thousands of years ago. ![]() Just below the switchbacks you’ll be able to see Two Bridges tucked off the trail. Beginning your hike this way is nice because you’ll go down the switchbacks versus up. ![]() If you begin at Sunset point and head down the Navajo Trail you’ll be rewarded with the iconic switchbacks you see photographed and shared across social media. This is a moderate loop hike and can be knocked out in as little as 1.5 hours, but if you want to take your time and capture lots of photos you’re looking at spending 2 hours. But don’t worry because there is still plenty to do!īy far the most popular and scenic trails are the Navajo and Queen’s Garden trails which are often combined for a loop. If you visit during winter there is a chance the main park road will be closed beyond the first couple viewpoints and some hikes in-accessible. I’m not the only one either- winter actually happens to be busy especially between Christmas and New Years. There is just something about the hoodoos dusted with snow that inSPIRES me.
