Trip ideas while visiting Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah

Fairyland Canyon

Just one mile north of the park entrance station, there’s a beautiful scenic overlook that offers a close-up view of hoodoos. It’s an excellent spot to appreciate their beauty. From this viewpoint, you’ll find the trailhead for the Fairyland Loop, which is an 8-mile hike full of stunning sights. The trail takes you through Fairyland, around Boat Mesa, and eventually leads you to Sunrise Point where it intersects with the Rim Trail. If you continue on the Rim Trail in a northerly direction, you’ll reach the Fairyland Canyon overlook.

The trek to this place has been described as “absolutely stunning” by recent visitors. It is a fantastic choice if you are interested in a full-day hike in the park. Remember to bring your camera because there will be plenty of opportunities for amazing photos along the way. Keep in mind that this hike usually takes over four hours, so make sure to set aside enough time to complete it.
