Trek through the most popular trail in Bryce Canyon to see its famous hoodoos - tall, thin spires of rock that seem to magically balance upon their dusty, red rock base. Begin your hike at Sunrise Point and make your way toward Queen Victoria, the trail's namesake rock formation. Continue through the amphitheater on Navajo Loop past Wall Street or Thor's Hammer, depending on trail conditions. Exit at Sunset Point before walking the Rim Trail back to our starting point. Soak in the views one last time - you'll want to take it all in. Hiking distance: 4.6km (2.9 mi) Elevation change: 183m (600 ft).

Wander throughout this red rock wonderland filled with countless arches, hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins, and giant balanced rocks carved and shaped by eons of weathering and erosion. Explore viewpoints and hike in this National Park that contains the world's largest concentration of natural stone arches.

Explore the Arches that make up this national park along the Devils Garden trail. Arches form as narrow rock walls (called "fins") erode over time, causing sections of the rockface to fall. Visit Landscape Arch, the longest in North America, with an opening of 93m (306 ft). Continue to Double O Arch, a challenging, steep section that requires hikers to scramble over rocks. Be rewarded with incredible views at the top, before heading back to the trailhead. Hiking distance: 7km (4.2 mi) Elevation change: 152-244m (500-800 ft).

Travel through twisting canyons, massive domes, monoliths, and spires of sandstone in this stunning and surreal National Park.

Once in the park hike along one of two possible trails. Chimney Rock 3.3 miles is a relatively short, not so steep trail that will take you to a high elevation viewpoint. Chimney Rock itself is an eroded pillar of red sandstone offering spansive views of the surrounding landscape. The loop is 580 feet in elevation gain and can typically be done in about 90 minutes. The 2-mile hike Hickman Trail is about 2 miles from the visitor centre. This easy, scenic trail leads hikers right up and under a large natural arch allowing you to gain a true sense of the grandeur present in this beautiful and unforgiving environment.

The hike begins at The Grotto shuttle stop and once you arrive at the lookout, you'll be able to enjoy jaw-dropping views of the valley before you.
