In Bryce Canyon National Park, there’s an excellent day-hiking trip everywhere you turn. The canyon is famous for its concentration of hoodoos, unique thin and chiseled rock spires, which are considered to be the highest anywhere on earth. And while the hoodoos may not be climbable, they do make hiking in Bryce Canyon a uniquely scenic and otherworldly experience. There’s a grand total of 37 different day hikes here, both easy strolls and steep, challenging treks, all of which run through one-of-a-kind geography and provide excellent views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. And if you’re lucky, you get to enjoy watching the sunrise along the Rim Trail, either at Sunrise or Sunset Point. This is an absolute bucket-list experience and a common way to start or end guided tours at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Audrey was an amazing guide!! She took the time to explain to us the step-by-step process and ensure we were always safe. She asked questions to understand our comfort levels and customized our trip accordingly. It was the most memorable part of our trip to the parks and definitely loved the thrill of climbing, descending, and exploring the amazing rock formations at all heights. Audrey was also very informative in pointing out and informing us of where and what the different canyons were. Absolutely recommend this experience and Audrey!! 10 Stars!!
We had a group of 8 that did a half-day of canyoneering with Mike & Hector. They were awesome guides, taught us the knots instead of just doing it for us, provided us with insightful facts and history about the area. They let us know to get there an hour earlier than scheduled to heat the rush and that ended up being great as we didn’t have to wait for any other groups. Just super friendly going and made sure we had a great time. They also took tons of great action shots of us and shared it at the end.
My partner and I had no idea what canyoneering even was but we booked a trip with Zion guide hub and I honestly can’t say enough good things. Our guide was Sonny and he was a pleasure. Not only did he make us feel safe but he made sure we were having the best time. He also was quite the photographer and kept reminding us to stop and take pictures which I loved. If you’re in Zion and looking for something exhilarating, beautiful, and fun then book your trip. P.s I have really bad asthma and though strenuous at times our guide made sure we were going at a good pace and letting us stop for breathers. 10/10 would recommend.

The best thing about hiking in Bryce Canyon is that there are incredible options for all skill levels. For beginner hikes, if you can walk for four to six hours with little elevation gain, you are good to go! Intermediate hikes will see a little more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles. Advanced hikes are full-day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind, the weather in summer can be very hot and you’ll also be packing a daypack filled with water and other things you’ll need throughout the day.
Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:
Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
Group sizes and prices:
Hiking in Bryce Canyon can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.
Min. age requirements:
If your group has hikers under the age of 18, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.
