This trail is 23 miles in length and helps to bridge the northern and southern sections of the National Park. The path will take you through various canyons and past the beautiful hoodoos in them. A backcountry permit is needed in order to hike in this area so visit a rangers office before setitng off.

If you are looking for solitude in Bryce's forested backcountry, then the on the Under the Rim Trail is for you. This is the northern end/start of the trail at Bryce Point. You are following down the Peek-A-Boo Trail, if you start here.

Descending from the rim, this 22.9 mile trail meanders through forests and meadows, offering stunning views of rainbow-hued cliffs in the distance. The hoodoos are part of the distant vistas to the west as you hike the valley floor.

Before you start your hike, obtain a backcountry permit at the Visitor Center prior to any overnight trips. Backcountry camping is permitted only in designated campsites. There are eight campsites on the 22.9 mile (36.9 km) Under-the-Rim Trail.
