Bryce Amphitheater Traverse

The Bryce Amphitheater Traverse is the NPS's name for a one-way route through the park's main bowl of hoodoos: start at Bryce Point, drop into the Peekaboo Loop, then climb out via Queen's Garden to finish at Sunrise Point. It strings together the amphitheater's best terrain without repeating ground, at the cost of needing a shuttle or a second vehicle to get back to your start.

Good to know

• About 5 miles one-way with roughly 1,033 feet of elevation gain, typically 2.5-3 hours
• Hike Peekaboo clockwise from Bryce Point, per NPS guidance, for the best views of the Wall of Windows
• Use the park shuttle to return to your starting point, or arrange a car shuttle
• Strenuous overall - this covers more distance and elevation change than any single amphitheater loop
• Pets are not allowed on any of these connecting trails
