Queen's Garden Trail

The next morning, we drove to Sunrise Point to catch the sunrise and hike the Queen's Garden Trail. Parking is limited at Sunrise Point and vehicles over 20 feet are not allowed April to October.

There is a shuttle system within Bryce Canyon that runs from April 13 to Oct 22 but it doesn't start until 8 am. The free shuttle runs every 10-15 minutes.

The sunrise was beautiful. Arrive 10 minutes before sunrise to stake out your spot.
