In this episode, we explore scenic Bryce Canyon for the very first time. We opted to hike something known as the Figure 8 Combination Loop, which chains together the Queens Garden Loop, Navajo Loop and the Peekaboo Loop trails, resulting in a 6.4 mile hike through some of Bryce Canyon's most iconic terrain.

We found that this particular hiking configuration resulted in an experience that allowed us to sample the best that Bryce has to offer, letting us get up close and personal with the famous rock formations, known as hoodoos, as well as other interesting features inside of the canyon.

The hike was not very strenuous and only took a few hours, meaning that there was plenty of time left to do other things in the park, such as tour some of the best overlooks such as Sunrise, Sunset, and Bryce points, and to casually stroll up on the rim for some amazing views and photographic opportunities.

The hike was not very strenuous (in our opinion), as the canyon is not very deep (compared to others we've hiked like the Grand Canyon, or some trails in nearby Zion National Park). The trail is also one of the smoothest and best maintained trails out of any national park we've been to in recent times.

Some of the highlights from this hike were the Peekaboo loop, which was less crowded than Queens Garden and the Wall Street portion of the Navajo Loop. Not only does Peekaboo seem to provide better seclusion, we feel that the hoodoos and vistas on the Peekaboo loop rival those of Queens Garden, the parks most popular trail, giving the hiker the best of both worlds... amazing views as well as peace and serenity!

One feature we enjoyed about the 65 miles of hiking trails at Bryce Canyon is that the various hikes are highly configurable and can be done in many different ways, at many different lengths, giving people of all ages and fitness levels the opportunity to experience Bryce Canyon up close and personal.

We thought that the paved sections of the rim trail that we experienced were among the most accessible, immaculate paths we've ever walked at any National Park.

Bryce Canyon is one of the most unique landscapes we've ever seen. It is other-worldly, and we sincerely hope that you have the opportunity to experience this marvelous place at least once in your life!
