Navajo Loop Trail Details
The popular Navajo Loop Trail starts at Sunset Point and drops 550 feet into the Bryce Amphitheater, passing through the cool, dark and narrow Wall Street canyon and the Silent City of hoodoos along the way. Steep in places, the Navajo Loop has some unstable footing, so hike with caution; three major rock slides have occurred on this trail in recent years. The Navajo Loop starts and ends at Sunset Point, but you can divert onto the Queens Garden Trail to make a more interesting loop that ascends to the rim at Sunrise Point (you can then walk the Rim Trail back to Sunrise Point if you left your car there).
