The Queens Garden Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park is a moderate hike that takes you through stunning rock formations and hoodoos. It's my favorite hike in the park and usually start at Queen's Garden and end at Navajo Trail. I go this route for a couple reasons, but the most important is being you ascend the switchbacks on Navajo Loop. Many injuries occur here and its actually safer to go up versus down.

TIP - If you're visiting in the winter or a time where there is likely snow, be sure and pack microspikes. The trails are extremely icy.
