Navajo Loop Trail

The Navajo Loop Trail is a short, yet popular, 1.4-mile loop trail located within Bryce Canyon National Park. It starts and ends at Sunset Point and descends from the rim into Bryce Canyon. This trail features colorful limestone walls, Douglas-Fir pine trees, and some of the park's most famous hoodoo formations, like Wall Street, Twin Bridges, and Thor's Hammer.

Starting counterclockwise, the trail descends a narrow canyon chute via a series of switchbacks towards Wall Street, Bryce Canyon National Park’s only slot canyon. Near Bryce Creek, the trail comes to a junction, then ascends back to the rim, passing Two Bridges and Thor's Hammer. 

While the trail is generally considered easy, it has steep terrain and can become icy in the winter.
