Backpacking the Under the Rim Trail
Bryce Canyon National Park, UT October 2025

The longest trail in Bryce Canyon is 22.4 Miles from Rainbow Point to Bryce Point and a bit lonely.  I didn't see a single person on the entire trail over 2 days of hiking. Exhausted, I took my last sip of water at Bryce Point.
