If you only have time for ONE hike in Bryce Canyon, make it this one! 🧡🥾
The Queen’s Garden + Navajo Loop was the overwhelming favorite in all my research, and after hiking it with our kids, I completely agree.
📍 Bryce Canyon National Park�🥾 ~3 mile loop�⏱️ ~2.5 hours with kids
You’ll descend into the amphitheater through Queen’s Garden and make your way back up the Navajo Loop, with incredible hoodoo views the entire way.
A few tips if you’re doing this with kids:
• Use the bathroom before you start. (Trust me…We had a bathroom emergency at the bottom of the canyon 🫠 Not fun!)�• Bring hydration packs + plenty of snacks.�• Wear hiking boots/shoes with good traction.�• The switchbacks at the end are STEEP. 😅
Our kids were 7–13 when we did this, and they definitely struggled toward the end. But they all finished, and they were SO proud of themselves. ❤️
If your kids are younger or you don’t want to do the full loop, you can turn around and go back the way you came. But if you’re able, I highly recommend doing the whole thing!
Save this for your Bryce Canyon trip! 🧡
