PARQUE NACIONAL BRYCE CANYON

Beautiful place. 2nd time here. Disappointed that the road right beside the entrance, which is National Forrest, was closed! We wanted to stay out there and saw it 6 years ago. Not sure why.

We did the Queen’s Garden & Peek a Boo Trail. After conquering all of the switchbacks to get to the bottom of the canyon we briefly contemplated which trail to do first. Our decision was it really didn’t matter because it’s a figure eight. Right? WRONG! Unlike us, definitely do Peek a Boo first. It’s a grueling hike with a lot of elevation gains followed by down hill hiking. It seemed we were up and down for the entire hike. However, the views were magnificent! At the end of Peek a Boo Trail you can easily continue on to Queen’s Garden which is a much easier, although not easy, beautiful hike. At the end of Queen’s Garden we were back up at the parking lot where we started. Being us, we did Queen’s Garden first and had to, once again, take the switchbacks down so we could hike Peek a Boo. When we were done with Peek a Boo, we had to take the switchbacks UP to the parking lot. Our route made the hike much harder than it would have been had we done Peek a Boo first!

In my opinion the best National Park in Utah.

Marvelous!

A relatively smaller scale national park. The views at the look out points are enough to enchant you. So it's fantastic for handicap persons or seniors. We need not make long trails to enjoy all the sights.
