This trail consists of two trails in conjunction. The Queens Garden Trail and the Navajo Loop Trail, both of which reside in a very majestic portion of Bryce Canyon National Park.
The trail itself has two approaches. You can move clockwise or counter-clockwise, with the park guide suggesting clockwise as the "preferred" approach (which is in the video).
The hike starts out with spectacular views of the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. After a rim view of the area, you are taken down into the hoodoos themselves. This portion of the hike was like nothing I've done. It was incredible.
You progress down through the canyon and are greeted with panoramic views of the surrounding area, which do not disappoint. As you move onto the Navajo Loop Trail, the scenery changes from hoodoos to forested canyons of red rock that are nearly as ascetically pleasing.
The hike up, be it clockwise or counter-clockwise, is very steep and challenging. I would classify this hike as hard, but not extreme.
The area is also very busy. The parking lot is large, but was almost completely full during our trek through the park. You may have to wait for parking depending on the time of year.
This was my favorite hike in Utah. Definitely in my top three of all time. Undoubtedly recommended.
