Great NP, even during the shutdown. Visitor's Center was open and the shuttle was running (it ends October 19). Lots of varied hikes from 1 mile to some monstrous ones. Terrain was varied as well, some serious elevation changes and some paved accessible ones. Quite beautiful!

🌄 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 national park!

This place is phenomenal. It's been on my bucket list for a very long time and I am so happy we finally went. The views are out of this world and plenty of trails for all to play and enjoy. The weather was absolutely perfect, 45-65 degree. If the sun is out and you are hiking a steep hill back up, it might feel like 80. Dress in layers as we went up and down the temperature also went up and down about 10-15 degrees.

Inspiration Point is, without a doubt, the second-best spot in Bryce Canyon National Park, just after Bryce Point 😄. The panoramic view from here is absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning display of the amphitheater and hoodoos that stretch across the landscape. The layered colors and unique formations are truly mesmerizing and provide a perfect spot for photography. Reaching this viewpoint only requires a short hike, which is well worth it for the incredible sights that await. We visited around 2:30 PM, and I believe this is one of the best times to go 🤟. The lighting at that hour really brought out the depth and beauty of the rock formations, highlighting the dramatic contrasts between the hoodoos and the canyon walls. Inspiration Point is also less crowded compared to some other viewpoints, just be cautious around the edges, as there are some steep drop-offs. All in all, it’s a must-visit location.

We hiked Navajo loop and Queens Garden started from Sunset point and back up on sunrise point last Sunday (3/30/25). Beautiful views and it was fun to find Queen Victoria’s hoodoo! The trail was dry and little windy.
