The experience

You get picked up and driven straight into the park with entry fees covered. The guide, a medically trained naturalist, stops first at Sunset Point and Sunrise Point, then leads you onto the Queen's Garden Trail, the least difficult route into the canyon from the rim. The trail descends 320 feet through hoodoos, the garden-like rock formations the park is known for. You walk at the pace your group sets, and the guide shares the human and geological history of the place as you go.

At midday, the guide serves a gourmet picnic lunch at a scenic spot inside the park. Dietary requests are accommodated with notice. After lunch, you visit Inspiration Point, which has three levels offering different views of the main amphitheater, then Bryce Point, famous for sunrises and views across the full sweep of hoodoos. If your group wants a longer hike, the Peekaboo Loop is an option the guide can add to the day.

The tour runs 6 to 8 hours depending on which trails you choose and how long you linger at each viewpoint. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the guide adjusts the itinerary to match your group's interests, whether that's a full hike, an adventurous trek or a more relaxed pace with wildlife spotting. Service animals are welcome, and specialized infant seats are available if you need them.

Top questions

What is the Queen's Garden Trail like to walk?

The Queen's Garden Trail begins at Sunrise Point and descends 320 feet into the canyon. It is the least difficult trail entering the canyon from the rim, and as you walk it you see many hoodoos, the garden-like rock formations the park is famous for.

Can I see a sunrise or sunset on this tour?

Bryce Point is famous for extraordinary sunrises, when the tops of hoodoos light up as if by fire from the sun's rays. The tour visits Bryce Point, though the timing depends on your group's pace and which hikes you choose during the day.

What happens if I'm not very fit or don't want to hike much?

The tour is customized to your group's abilities and interests. You can enjoy the viewpoints at Sunset Point, Sunrise Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point with short walks between them, and skip the longer hikes if you prefer. The guide tailors the day to match your fitness level.

Is lunch included, and can you handle dietary needs?

Yes, a gourmet picnic lunch is served at a scenic spot in the park at midday. The guide caters to all dietary requests with notice, so let them know when you book if you have any restrictions or preferences.

Do I need to pay the park entrance fee separately?

Park entry is included in the tour price for U.S. residents. International visitors may be subject to an additional National Park entrance fee, which is collected in-destination at the time of your tour, not when you book.
