The Cathedral, Bryce Canyon National Park

Highlight • Canyon

The Cathedral is another example of an amphitheater, a canyon with a large number of hoodoos. The area is named after the resemblance of the hoodoos looking like massive church spires.

Peekaboo Loop has two trailheads. One is here, on Tropic Trail, and the other is at the parking area Bryce Point ParkingThe trail descends 670 feet from Bryce Point into a loop filled with hoodoos before climbing back up. During summer, hikers may encounter horses and mules on the trail. It is recommended to hike this loop in a clockwise direction.

Navajo Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Navajo Trail is a short hiking path loop in Bryce National Park that leads down to the Bryce Canyon and then back up through Wall Street. It can be done in about 1 to 2 hours, depending on how many stops you make to enjoy the awe inspiring rock formations and take photos.

The trail is rather steep with quite a bit of altitude to conquer – make sure to bring enough water. If you come in the morning or evening, you might be able to hike in the shade before the sunlight comes down into the canyon.

Thor’s Hammer (hoodoo)

Highlight • Natural Monument

This hoodoo (a tall, thin rock spire) is possibly the most iconic natural monument in Bryce Canyon National Park. Named after the mighty weapon of the Norse God, the spire stands 150 feet above the canyon floor and can be seem from most areas around the Amphitheater.

Hoodoos at Bryce Canyon

Highlight • Natural Monument

We reach the spectacular Bryce Canyon. The bizarre rock formations ("hoodoos") are just as characteristic of Bryce Canyon as its forests. The combined forces of wind, water and ice have created a landscape of rock pillars in strange shapes and sizes. These rock formations are also called hoodoos. The hoodoos create a labyrinth of constantly changing shapes and colors from bright orange to pale pink or ochre.
Here we take the opportunity to descend into the canyon. The change of perspective makes us really aware of the size of the individual rock formations. We see several chipmunks that are far too quick for my camera.

Two Bridges (Navajo Loop Trail)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Two Bridges can be found on the Navajo Loop Trail, close to Thor's Hammer. The natural bridges connect the walls of a narrow canyon and are the result of erosion over thousands of years.
