Today's choice for a visit was another high elevation destination - Bryce Canyon National Park. It was a gorgeous park, much like Cedar Breaks except 50 times better. It had more hoodoos, more trails, more scenic areas, more everything. Just like Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon is a park seen from the top. Drives are on the plateau above the valley and many trails are as well.
The most popular trail in the park covers both the plateau and the canyon. It is the Queen's Garden and Navajo Trail Loop. It takes hikers down the canyon wall into the valley and includes a challenging 600-foot ascension from the valley floor through a series of switchbacks. It starts as a rim trail between Sunset and Sunrise Points.
