Queens Garden / Peek-A-Boo Loop Trail, Bryce Canyon NP (June, 2007)

 
The highpoint of Bryce Canyon National Park is definitely Bryce Amphitheater which can be seen from several view points (Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point, and even Bryce Point), but, to get a good look at the beauty it holds you have to get off the rim and hike down among the hoodoos to experience Bryce.

With a 2006 rock fall on the upper half of what's know as "Wall Street", the most popular route has been closed temporarily.  (It reopened in September).  So we chose a different route that was sure to impress.

The Queen's Garden Trail leaves out from Sunset Point and heads down into the heart of the Bryce Amphitheater.  The view you see here is from the rim before we started hiking.
