Navajo Trail in Bryce Canyon -- what to do when Wall Street closed??
 

Hi all!

My family is heading to Utah next weekend (wow -- sounds exciting to say that!) for the start of a 2-week vacation. We're going to be spending some time in Bryce Canyon and intended on doing the hike that includes both Queen's Garden and Navajo Trail. I was just looking on the NPS website and it says that the Wall Street section is closed. Given that I've never hiked this trail before -- what does this mean? How does it impact the hike? Can we still do the Navajo Trail (without the Wall Street section) or does it make the whole thing impossible? Thanks for any information!

The Navajo trail is actually a loop itself. So to complete the Navajo to Queen's Garden loop you will just use the other half of the Navajo Loop. It negates nothing from the overall hike and allows you to see the twin bridges on that loop.
The wall street section is normally closed this time of year when erosional activity is highest and rock fall is frequent.

Thanks for the information InSandy -- much appreciated!

I hate to end a thread so quickly but inSandy said it all.

In addition, I would go down Navajo Loop and up Queens Garden since the Navajo Loop part is shorter and steeper.

You are in elevation that's over 8,000 ft so unless you're used to this you want to walk slowly, rest as required and drink lots of water.

Bryce trails are wide and smooth so letting people by is easy.
