Rim Trail can be explored via two separate routes, including an easier, more level 0.9-mile portion that travels between Sunrise and Sunset Points and offers dramatic views of hoodoo structures. From there, the 10.7-mile round-trip trail traverses a much more difficult section between Fairyland and Bryce Points, which features elevation changes of up to 1,587 feet. Shuttle bus transportation is available during the park shuttle’s operating season at several points during the longer portion of the trail, though hikers should note that there is no official shuttle stop and will need to signal the shuttle driver to stop.
