I will say that this part of the trail was very slippery and not just during the winter photo above but also in November when I visited this park. You will notice there is a warning sign about loose rocks and how good hiking boots are recommended. This is where you can start on the main loop trail. ![]() Next is a photo from the start of the main trail in Bryce Canyon: ![]() Never the less this scenic spot is also a great place to visit in the park. Unfortunately in the 2 times I’ve come to this place, that trail has been closed and I honestly don’t know which area of the park it goes to. This particular area of Bryce Canyon gives you closer access to the canyon walls and there is another trail located further below this. This picture was taken not far from the above overlook I showed you earlier. In my case, I used the Salomon Speedcross hiking shoes and the Randy Sun waterproof socks. I will also say that when it’s winter time here, it’s strongly recommended to wear very warm hiking clothes as the snow mixes with the dirt in the park, making it slippery and often muddy. Other than a very warm winter jacket (in the photo above I was wearing the REI Co Op Stormhenge 850 Down Jacket), 2 other things I recommend for hiking here would be hiking shoes and very reliable waterproof socks. That’s actually from a sight that looks like Bryce Canyon and it’s called Cedar Breaks National Monument (also a highly recommended place to see). You may also notice similar looking mountains to the left of this overlook. The hiking spots from the 2 earlier pictures are actually located deep in that same canyon but once you’re done with the loop trail, you will come back out to the top of the park to exit out of there. Here’s a great example of how much snow can envelop Bryce Canyon National Park and in this photo you can see me standing at a very high point of the canyon looking into it. Next we have a photo of Bryce Canyon National Park from the top: Typically December through February is when you will see a lot of snow in this park, whereas any other months you will usually get views like from the first photo above. But I can also tell you that the entire park looks entirely different every other season which is why I do recommend visiting it more than once and during different months. Obviously this is the exact same spot as the other Bryce Canyon photo above but as you can see, during winter the colors of the rocks do seem very different and that’s something you’ll also notice if you visit this park in the winter. Here’s another Bryce Canyon photo of the same area, but in winter: Because this is a loop trail, you can go through this tunnel 2 different ways and get amazing pictures from either angle. ![]() This particular photo shows you a beautiful rocky landscape with a tunnel in the middle which the trail does go through. ![]() The above photo was taken while I was hiking the Navajo Loop Trail which happens to be the most famous hike in Bryce Canyon National Park. Here’s the first of many Bryce Canyon National Park photos: Most of these were taken throughout the main hike in the park known as the Navajo Loop trail and I’ve explored this park 2 times, once during fall and one time during winter and the pictures below are documented from both those visits. In addition to that, I’ll also be providing a further guide to another post I wrote about things to do in this park so you can actually visit these places vs just looking at and enjoying these Bryce Canyon photos. 14) Related (if you want to see more beautiful Utah National Park photos):
