The Spectacular Trail In Utah Everyone Needs To Take As Soon As Possible

As the weather gets nicer in the Beehive State, it’s finally time to get out of the house and back onto the hiking trails! March is a great time of year to visit Bryce Canyon National Park, and this enchanting hike is one of the best ways to see hoodoos up close.

The Queen's Garden Trail starts at Sunrise Point.

The view of the amphitheater is incredible from the top.

The National Park Service considers this to be the easiest hike from the rim.

As you walk down the level path, you'll pass many interesting hoodoos.

You'll get up close and friendly with them!

Once you get to the bottom, you'll be surrounded by hoodoos.

You'll gain a unique perspective of these hoodoos - viewing them from the bottom up.

Watch for wildlife!

One hoodoo is supposed to look like a statue of Queen Victoria - this is where Queen's Garden got its name.

Queen Victoria sits high above her garden.

This trail is typically accessible starting as early as March, but you'll want to check with the Visitor Center before heading out.

On hot days, make sure to bring plenty of water.

While the hike down is very easy, the hike back up is obviously more challenging.
