Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the Beehive State’s most treasured gems. While you could just drive along the rim and check out all the overlooks, the best way to explore the park is by hiking on one of its many trails. The Fairyland Loop Trail takes you right down amongst the hoodoos and spires, and it’s just like entering a fairytale.

The Fairyland Loop Trail is a strenuous, 7.8-mile trail, but it's well worth your effort.

The scenery along the trail is absolutely stunning! Soak in the quirky, unique beauty of each hoodoo that was formed by years of erosion.

The trail takes you down, down, down...right into the amphitheater, where you'll be surrounded by these colorful rock formations.

Of course, when you go down, you must eventually go up. The elevation changes are frequent on this trail, so make sure to bring plenty of water along.
