queen's garden trail

Bryce Canyon from the rim is spectacular, but it is a whole different world to hike down among them. Even if you don't do a complete hike, just stroll down the start of any of the hikes until they tower above you and you will be impressed!

We were here for a half day visit so this almost 2 mile return was a perfect fit with a rim walk. The views are stunning and the walk itself is only mildly strenuous on the return up the canyon. We did the hike in winter and was still reasonably easy (with proper foot wear). I couldn't believe the number of people sliding around in tennis shoes on the snow covered trail. The trail is quite safe compared to others I had done with no real precarious drops. The views are also well worth the effort of this hike. Highly recommended.

We hiked this in the winter and it was even more beautiful with the snow. Very cold (0 deg) camping at night. Bryce Canyon is higher elevation than many of the other Utah parks. Elevation gain getting out of the canyon. You can link this with other hikes on the under-the-rim trail.

The trail is fantastic. The only place were you can use a drone (up-until that moment). A German was giving us a demonstration. Is it a garden? No realy, it is a walk

This hike is quite easy and really lets you feel the canyon. It takes you along some high and steep canyon walls and the hike is enjoyable for both photographers and non-sportsmen. The hardcore hikers might find this too easy but it's beautiful and a must-do.

Great hike, probably the easiest under the rim trail. Lots to see, bring a camera and spend a little time

Probably the best hiking area to get up close to the crazy hoodoo formations. Take your camera as you will be snapping like mad. Easy to see Queen Victoria look a like as they have a sign.

Queens garden is an extension of the Navajo Loop. This extension lengthens the hike somewhat, but little change in difficulty as you have already hit the canyon floor on the Navajo trail. Queens garden is another set of unique, camera friendly hoodoos. The beauty of the hike is reflected as the camera's view of the hoodoos changes from peering down, to shooting at eye level-eventually to looking up. Remember to carry water-even in cool weather you hike an open trail with little shade.

Great walk - favorite in the park. combine with the navajo loop for a round trip. Know that the uphill is very steep coming up the loop.

If you only have time (or energy) for one hike down into the canyon, this is an excellent candidate. Incredible formations and you get to the base of them. Combine this with the Navajo loop for a truly iconic walk through the essence of Bryce.

You'll need good tread on your shoes for this hike. Has some steepness but is breathtaking to do. Take water!

We did a big loop combining starting with Queens Garden, then the Peekaboo trail and ending with the Navajo trail. Great hike, took about 3 hours and you see some amazing scenery. We did this first thing in the morning and in my opinion I liked this park better than Zion.

Best way to see the Hoodoos up close. Lots of up and down hiking. Switchbacks can be daunting for the weak and unprepared. Wear good shoes and bring a camera, water and a walking stick. Very popular (can be crowded)

This was a great hike. We started at Sunset Point and hiked DOWN the Navajo Trail, connected to Queen Anne and ended up at Sunrise Point. We then hiked the ½ mile back to Sunset Point along the paved path. Going down the Navajo path seems like it was the better choice. It is steeper than the Queen Anne trail. The trail is a little strenuous but not bad. The scenery is spectacular and you can get some great panoramic shots.

This was a little boring after completing Navajo, "wall street" and peek-a-boo. Yes, we saw the Queen, but we were expecting something more spectacular after people's reviews. If I did this again, I would go back up through wall street and Navajo.
