Moderate Hikes have steep grades with "down and back" elevation changes, and include the following trails:

• Navajo Trail (1.3 mi / 2.2 km round trip)
  The Navajo Loop begins at Sunset Point and goes down into Bryce Amphitheater through a "slot" canyon where large Douglas Fir trees are stretching to reach sunlight high above.
• Tower Bridge (3 mi / 4.8 km round trip)
  See Bristlecone pines and the China Wall. A shady 1/4-mile spur trail leads to the Tower Bridge.
• Swamp Canyon (4.3 mi / 7.2 km round trip)
  Descend into one of the lesser-known areas of Bryce Canyon.
