Fairyland Loop

Follow the rim through forest, then descend into a long circuit of fins and hoodoos. The return climb is part of the story.

Loop

Counterclockwise from Fairyland Point (NPS recommendation)

NPS lists 8.0 mi / 12.9 km in its main details and 7.8 mi / 12.6 km in accessibility details. Both differ from this generalized mapped line. Spur inclusion is not explicit in the published total.

Fairyland Point has no park shuttle stop. Check NPS access and conditions before planning a return.

  1. The rim is part of the loop

    Forest on the plateau and the amphitheater below belong to the same walk. Notice how the trail follows the edge before leaving it.

  2. The Tower Bridge junction

    The bridge viewpoint is down a separate spur. A passing loop does not automatically include the side trip. Select the spur variant to see its added travel.

    5.95 km along the displayed study · Near an NPS mapped point (2.6 m offset). Marker is the nearest mapped route position to the NPS junction; it is not the bridge itself.Fairyland Loop · Tower Bridge
  3. A landscape of fins and columns

    NPS describes frost weathering and erosion as central to Bryce’s sculpted rock. A hoodoo is a remaining column; this relief model cannot resolve every fin, opening or overhang.

An out-and-back journey from Sunrise Point to the Queen Victoria viewing spur. Read the return half of the profile before you begin.

N ↑Mapped route · not navigation1232438 m2317 m0 km2.26 kmNAVD88 metres

Sunrise trail junction to the mapped Queen Victoria viewing spur and back. The viewpoint and the hoodoo are different locations.

Square: mapped start. Numbers: learning stops. Map is north-up. Profile elevations use NAVD88 metres; its vertical scale is independent of the map.

Out-and-back

Descend from Sunrise Point; return on the same path

This mapped line is materially shorter than NPS’s 1.8 mi / 2.9 km hike. The compilation may generalize switchbacks or use different endpoints. No extra distance is invented to match NPS.

This is a descent into the amphitheater followed by an uphill return. A low calculated ascent does not establish effort or accessibility.

NPS route description · Source-line GeoJSON · Profile CSV

  1. Leaving the rim

    The Queen’s Garden is a route into the amphitheater, not a rim stroll. The downhill beginning becomes the uphill finish.

  2. Why columns survive

    Differences in rock resistance help produce the uneven shapes called hoodoos. Look at the variety of silhouettes; the terrain’s broad slopes do not reproduce their delicate surfaces.

  3. Queen Victoria viewing spur

    The named hoodoo is viewed from a short spur. The marker belongs to the viewpoint; it does not invite a climb onto the formation.

Two trails joined by a walk along the rim

Queen’s Garden / Navajo

Descend Queen’s Garden, take the viewing spur, climb the Two Bridges side of Navajo, then follow the Rim Trail back to Sunrise.

Clockwise, descending Queen’s Garden (NPS recommendation)

The published NPS loop distance is approximate and can describe either Navajo side. This packet fixes Two Bridges and includes the short Queen Victoria detour. The dated line compilation yields a different distance.

NPS recommends descending Queen’s Garden and ascending Navajo. Check current restrictions; the preview does not certify that Two Bridges is open.

  1. A short detour to the Queen

    The viewing spur returns to the same junction before the journey continues toward Navajo. It is counted twice only because you walk it twice.

A loop with a climb to get home

Peekaboo Loop

Reach the loop from Bryce Point, circle through the amphitheater, and retrace the connector. The approach is part of the hike.

N ↑Mapped route · not navigation1232529 m2267 m0 km7.47 kmNAVD88 metres

Mapped trailhead near Bryce Point to the loop and back. The overlook and parking are separate arrival/context points.

Clockwise on the loop, with Bryce Point connector in both directions

The UGRC line is shorter than NPS’s 5.5 mi / 8.9 km. NPS’s general index uses 8.8 km and says clockwise required; the dedicated page says recommended. This study always uses clockwise and keeps that wording conflict in the audit.

Horses and mules may share this trail. NPS directs hikers to yield to riders. Confirm current guidance before hiking.

  1. Where the connector reaches the loop

    This junction separates the two-way approach from the circular part of the journey. Returning to Bryce Point means climbing that connector again.

  2. Windows in the rock

    NPS identifies Peekaboo as a place to see natural windows, including the Wall of Windows. This marker is a reading cue on the loop, not a surveyed viewing station for a particular opening.

A side trail with a destination of its own

Tower Bridge

Use the southern part of Fairyland, follow the documented viewing spur, and return to the trailhead north of Sunrise Point.

N ↑Mapped route · not navigation1232436 m2180 m0 km5.01 kmNAVD88 metres

Begins at the mapped Tower Bridge trailhead north of Sunrise. Parking-to-trailhead access is not part of this route.

Out-and-back

Out to the viewpoint, then back along the same segments

The named activity uses Fairyland’s southern segment plus the Tower Bridge spur. It is not the full Fairyland loop, and its return is counted explicitly.

The Sunrise arrival point is a transfer destination, not the Tower Bridge trailhead or the bridge formation.

Hat Shop

Follow the opening part of Under-the-Rim to the documented Hat Shop viewpoint, then turn around. The trail beyond is a different itinerary.

N ↑Mapped route · not navigation1232532 m2255 m0 km6.54 kmNAVD88 metres

Under-the-Rim is clipped at the nearest line position to NPS’s Hat Shop Hoodoos Viewpoint (not at a guessed two-mile mark). No continuation toward Rainbow Point is included.

Square: mapped start. Numbers: learning stops. Map is north-up. Profile elevations use NAVD88 metres; its vertical scale is independent of the map.

Strenuous · 3–4 hours

Mapped study: 6.54 km · derived ascent 355 m
Out-and-back

Down from Bryce Point; uphill return on the same path

NPS’s dedicated hike page gives 1,380 ft ascent; an older Peekaboo/Hat Shop wayside describes a 1,000 ft descent. The dedicated hike total is retained without forcing the DEM profile to match.

This is an out-and-back from the rim; the climb is on the way home. NPS discourages unprepared winter use.

  1. Into the backcountry

    The trailhead serves several activities. Under-the-Rim continues far beyond this day hike; the Hat Shop study has a specific turnaround.

  2. Looking beyond the amphitheater

  3. The Hat Shop viewpoint

    Orange rock pinnacles carry larger gray boulders at the Hat Shop. The named viewpoint fixes this study’s turnaround; the boulders and their supports are not resolved by the terrain grid.

    3.27 km along the displayed study · Near an NPS mapped point (0.8 m offset). Turnaround is projected to the mapped line within 1 metre of the NPS viewpoint. This is a GIS agreement, not a field survey.Hat Shop

A quieter, more forested landscape

Swamp Canyon Loop

Combine the Sheep Creek connector, a section of Under-the-Rim, and the Swamp Canyon connector. A short approach links the viewpoint to the loop.

N ↑Mapped route · not navigation1232455 m2256 m0 km7.14 kmNAVD88 metres

Mapped approach from Swamp Canyon Viewpoint, both connecting trails and the intervening Under-the-Rim segment. No straight shortcut closes the loop.

Square: mapped start. Numbers: learning stops. Map is north-up. Profile elevations use NAVD88 metres; its vertical scale is independent of the map.

Sheep Creek connector first; return by Swamp Canyon connector

The two connectors have different names in NPS and UGRC records. Exact source IDs, direction and junction checks are retained so the loop can be audited independently.

NPS describes this as more rugged, more forested and less signed than the amphitheater trails. Carry current park mapping.

Mapped loop from the forest junction southeast of Rainbow Point

NPS main details give 1.0 mi / 1.6 km; its accessibility block pairs 1.0 mi with 0.8 km. This atlas retains the main details and flags the inconsistent conversion. The omitted trailhead approach partly explains the mapped total.

A short trail at high elevation is not automatically an accessible or currently passable trail. Check snow and road access.

The 2021 NPS page pairs 8.5 mi with 14.2 km (8.5 mi converts to about 13.7 km). Both printed values are preserved as published, not silently corrected. Ascent is the page’s climbing total, not just its min-to-max difference.

Backcountry water and trail conditions need current NPS advice. A spring label does not guarantee water availability or potability.
