Bryce Canyon- Figure 8 including Peekaboo and Navajo Trails- Utah
















Bryce Canyon is around 8000 ft. so be prepared to be out of breath. The figure 8 loop combines multiple mini hikes into one longer 8.5ish hike. You can do the views and picture taking from a drive that allows you to see down into the canyon from many different perspectives. There are a bunch of hikes you can put together into a figure eight pattern down in the canyon that will let you see much of the cool hoodoo’s, red dirt, and more red dirt. The path is well marked and wide. Watch out for the horse crap that covers half the trail. Someone needs to invent a pooper scooper for horses because it was everywhere. Very unique environment, beautiful colors (make sure to stay and watch the sunset with golden colors bouncing of the distant rocks). There are many opportunities to cut your hike short or just keep going for more hoodoo’s, views, and red dirt. Like Zion, more people speaking foreign languages around you, but not as packed as some hikes. Definitely worth it if you around this area. We stayed in a nearby campsite that was literally 10-20 yards from the edge of the canyon. Showers and food within walking distance.
