There is no place like
Bryce Canyon. Hoodoos (odd-shaped pillars of rock left standing from the forces of erosion) can be found on every continent, but here is the largest collection of hoodoos in the world. An imagination of wonder will serve you when visiting the Bryce Canyon National Park (BCNP) which is located in Utah just 250 miles from Las Vegas.
The view from Sunset Point Park your vehicle at the visitor center and take the shuttle to go to different view points. BCNP has a shuttle service. Please see their websites for the timing. I would recommend to get down at Sunset point and start from there. The below picture was taken at Sunset point. There is a rim trail that goes from Sunset point to Sunrise point on left and Inspiration point to Bryce point on right.
The view from start of Queen’s Garden Loop Once you get down at Sunset point, walk towards Sunrise point. At 0.9 mile from Sunrise point, you will see a trail going to Queens garden trail. The below picture was taken at this point. The queens garden trail is around 0.8 miles.
The “Queen Victoria” At around 0.5 mile from Queens garden trail, you will see a hoodoo which looks like Queen Victoria. (Use your imagination) – The left most one is Queen Victoria..)
The view from Peakaboo Trail At around 0.8 miles in Queens Garden trail, you will see a 4 way intersection down at the bottom of the canyon. If you continue straight ahead, you will reach wall street which will return you back to Sunset point. But if you have time (2 hours roughly), take a Peakaboo loop trail which is 3 miles round trip. The below pictures were taken along the Peakaboo loop trail.
The view from Wall Street
Once you complete the Peakaboo loop, you will start hiking the Wall street which is only 0.6 miles, but you have an amazing view. This is where you really feel that you are into the canyon. After the wall street, you will reach the Sunset point where you started your hike.
The view from Inspiration Point If you want to see the Inspiration point (the tallest point at BCNP), keep walking right and at 0.7 miles you will see the Inspiration point. The below picture was taken from the Inspiration point. From here, you can walk right for 1.5 miles and you will reach the Bryce point.
As the name suggest, the best place to view the Sunrise is at the sunrise point and Sunset is at the sunset point. The shuttle connects all the view points. The below picture was taken during Sunset from sunset point. It was not that great as the light didn’t fall into the canyon.
Below picture depicts the different view points and the shuttle stops.
There are lots of things to do here, especially people who likes the photography, hiking, camping and horseback riding. For the food and stay, there is only one lodge inside the park, Bryce canyon lodge.
