Bryce Horse Trail Description
The Bryce Horse Trail is a beautiful hike in Bryce Canyon National Park. As the name would suggest, this trail is used by hikers and horseback riders. When hiking, be sure to mind where you step and keep your eyes and ears open for folks on horseback looking to pass you by. The Bryce Horse Trail is a lovely loop that will take you past Sunrise Point and the ET Hoodoo, before looping back around on a low-traffic trail where you can enjoy some peace and solitude surrounded by the beauty of the Utah wilderness.
From the Sunrise Point Trailhead, follow the path south to Sunrise Point and take the trail on your left to head east past the ET Hoodoo. Stay left at the following divides in the path to loop your way back around to the Sunrise Point Trailhead where you began.
If you are looking for a longer hike in the area, check out the popular Queen’s Garden and Navajo Loop.
