Hike

Peek-a-boo Loop Trail is one of the more strenuous hikes available in Bryce Canyon. The unique challenge this loop provides has beautiful views that are well worth the hike. This three-mile loop can be accessed using a clearly marked trail from Bryce Point. This trail can be found on the North side of the Bryce Point parking lot.

The decent from Bryce Point to Peek-a-boo Loop Trail is rapid, making this trail more difficult than most in the park. The trail is about 2 miles, making the entire hike about 5 miles.

There are no restrooms or water stations along the trail, however the bottom of the loop is shaded with green trees, giving a wonderful respite from the heat of the sun.  

From Peek-a-boo Loop Trail hikers have a wonderful view of the Bryce Amphitheater. Throughout the loop you can see several incredible rock formations, Hoodoos, both up close and in the distance.

Because Peek-a-boo Loop is a distance from any popular trailhead in Bryce it is one of the quietest hikes available, with very little traffic from other hikers. Hikers on the trail may run into mules and horses, as this is the only hiking trail open to riders. Horse and mule rides can be scheduled through Bryce Canyon Park Services.

Peek-a-boo Loop is the perfect trail for hikers looking for a challenging, quiet and scenic hike.
