Bryce Canyon National Park
Navajo Trail

During the Spring of 2006 the Wall Street side of the Navajo Loop Trail suffered a landslide that closed that portion of the trail. You can read more about that from the links below.

  • Wall Street Rock Slide - initial report (6/2006)
  • Wall Street Rock Slide - update (12/2006)
  • Wall Street Now open - update (9/2007) 

A plan of restoration and preservation is in place that will allow visitors safe access to view this work of nature. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to maintain the park in a manner that is safe for all and continues to preserve the serenity and beauty of Bryce Canyon National Park for future generations.


 

Navajo Trail begins at Sunset Point and travels down into the main amphitheater. This is one of the more popular trails and extra caution is advised. The Wall Street side of the trail experienced a rock slide last spring that closed that portion of the trail until recently. The entire Navajo Loop is now open and takes visitors to Two Bridges, Thors Hammer and Wall Street. This is one of the few "slot" canyons in Bryce Canyon.

This trail may also be combined with the Queens Garden Trail which will create a second loop.
