Navajo Loop Trail — Attraction in Bryce Canyon City

🌄 Unforgettable Adventure at Navajo Loop Trail! 🌄

I recently experienced the Navajo Loop Trail at Bryce Canyon National Park and it was absolutely mind-blowing!

🏞️ Breathtaking Scenery 🏞️ The entire trail offered non-stop stunning views of Bryce's famous hoodoos and rock formations. Unlike many hikes where you're just pushing to reach a viewpoint, every step along this path was rewarding with constantly changing perspectives.

🪨 Wall Street Section 🪨 Starting down through Wall Street was definitely the right choice! The narrow passage between towering rock walls created an almost spiritual experience. The shadows and light playing off the orange-red rocks were simply magical.

🥾 Trail Experience 🥾 The path itself was well-maintained but challenging in the best way. Going down first and then climbing up via the Two Bridges section provided the perfect progression of difficulty and scenery. The elevation gain on the way out gets your heart pumping, but the views make every step worthwhile.

🌅 Perfect Timing 🌅 Hiking during sunset was absolutely the right call! The golden hour light transformed the already spectacular landscape into something truly otherworldly. The hoodoos glowed with vibrant oranges and reds that photographers dream about.

💯 Worth Every Step 💯 This trail deserves all 10 points on a 10-point scale! Despite the elevation challenge on the return, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. If you're visiting Bryce Canyon, make this loop your top priority - just be prepared for the climb out, and you'll be rewarded with some of the most unique scenery in any...

We just hiked the Navajo Loop on 6.20.22 with our kids, a 5 year old and an 8 year old. I've read about this trail being easy for kids. The boys did fine for the most of it. We went down the two bridges side and came up on the wall street side. Make sure to wear hiking boots! It's very important. The road at the top has a drop off on one side and the road itself is slippery. There were a lot of people who had to turn back right at the beginning because the bottoms of their shoes were too flat and they were slipping and falling. At the same time I saw a lady at the bottom of the trail in flip flops 🤯😅. Next time I'd get us all walking sticks as well. There are switchbacks on the way down and up. There are some shade areas for rest and a snack. Bring lots of water. We had 2 water bottles per person and it was only 71 degrees on that day. You definitely need a sunscreen. The whole trail took us an hour and a half with frequent stops for the kids. Without kids you can easily finish it in an hour. Our kids did just fine, also they were slightly out of breath after the wall street part on the way up. There are picnic tables and restrooms at the Sunset point. The Inspiration point and Bryce point are just down the road. It's $35 to get into the park, unless you have an annual pass. The shuttle runs in the park. We are...

Such a thrilling and fulfilling experience for us! We did the trail starting by Thor's Hammer and finishing on the Wall Street side. The grade seems to be a bit less and there are some steps on the Wall Street side too which made the ascension easier in our opinion. We did this hike early morning (~7a) on a weekday in June and the temps were great but did get quite warm towards the end as the sun started to creep into the canyon, so definitely do it early to avoid the heat during ascension. We had our 5 y.o. with us and he loved it! Just be sure to help little ones with the switchbacks as some spots do have moderate dropoffs at the top. Otherwise, the paths are fairly wide and easily manageable for most adults & kids in good health. And most importantly, DON'T...
