Sunrise Point Trails1
Sunrise Point serves as the trailhead for the easy to moderate Queen’s Garden Trail that descends into a section of hoodoos ruled by the Queen Victoria hoodoo. This viewpoint also represents the end point for the Navajo Loop/Queen Victoria combination, one of the most popular hikes in the Park. Just to the north of this overlook, the Fairyland Loop climbs back up to the rim continuing north to where it completes its 8-mile journey at Fairyland Canyon overlook. For those who prefer shorter hikes, descending this section of the Fairyland Loop as far as the Tower Bridge and returning back up to Sunrise point, offers a 3-mile “out & back.” The Tower Bridge Hike has a difficulty rating of moderate.

Hi Mike – such a wonderful photo – does look like a ‘sunrise’ … love the colourations – cheers Hilary
Thanks!
We took a couple of nice hikes when were at Bryce Canyon. One of them was an easy walk in the valley off to the left of this picture and about 3 1/2 miles as the crow flies. The trailhead for the other was just 1/2 mile to the right and it was a doozy of a hike.
