FAQ: Q: How long did the hike take you? A: Glenn started at 9a and finished at 2:30pm. Keep in mind though that filming, changing batteries, etc can eat up some extra time. A pamphlet said it should take about 4-5 hours on average.
Bryce is at the top of my list as far as Utah goes. Great place to start the tour. Looking at maybe next April. Utah was great the time I went to Canyonlands in April. This time, I will be heading north from Arizona. Just beautiful and so amazing, those hoodoos.
Love the music you have been using as background at times. It is so peaceful. This is among one of the most beautiful national parks and loved seeing it up close. Enjoying all your hikes into these canyons.
Yeah, we think the ambient music works well too. TH-cam offers a ton of free to use, copyright free music which is where we get it. Bryce was the most unique landscape I’ve ever seen. Very neat place!
You do an excellent job of documenting your hikes. We hiked Bryce last year in June and coming back in October. I know exactly how you felt among the hoodoos, they are truly magical.
Bryce truly is one of those places that no matter how many times you go, it just doesn't stop feeling otherworldly, doe it? Appreciate your comment and thank you so much for watching our video. 😊
So glad I found this video! (And several others of yours as well. So so helpful!) We just returned from Bryce and took your recommendation from this video and did the Figure 8 combo loop. One my favorite hikes of our Utah trip! I too was just mesmerized by Bryce. And my son let out a few "wa-hoo's" based on your suggestion too. :)
The almost world famous Cactus Atlas team does it again - awesome video Glenn and Amy! Our National Parks are such treasures, we must preserve them for all to enjoy with awe for years to come. Couldn’t agree with you more on the two types of people. I’m with you on what type I am. I mean look at the beautiful birds you caught a glimpse of, I don’t think the chatty Kathy’s caught a glimpse. But alas, to each their own and I’m beginning to ramble. Again great video, thanks for letting us tag along. Oh! Would you mind sharing the brand of your sunglasses, thinking they might be a good fit for the hubby. Thanks.
Thanks so much! As for the sunglasses, the brand is Nike. I bought them at Kohls. www.kohls.com/product/prd-3587844/mens-nike-expert-sunglasses.jsp?skuid=37260932&ci_mcc=ci&MENS%20SEASONAL%20ACCESS&CSE&CID=shopping15&pid=googleadwords_int&af_channel=CSE&gclid=CjwKCAjw29vsBRAuEiwA9s-0B0TTbyFpgcW1QCFrMPOgtcyK-ORp4_gVCB0YQMGl1NMM8DnLHvasKRoCrqsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I have been enjoying them a lot. Best pair I've owned in a very long time!
Planning on doing this hike with my girlfriend in the first week of August. I've been watching your and other people's NP hikes while I work out to stay motivated. Can't wait to do some of these hikes myself!
Thank you for filming this! It's wonderful! I'm considering a trip out to Bryce Canyon soon but was a little concerned about heights/exposure, esp bc I suffer from vertigo - are there any areas that felt a little dangerous to you? Thanks again and keep exploring! :)
Thanks so much! Can't say there's really any areas that felt dangerous at all. Wall Street would be the only section that climbs a lot and COULD give a sense of vertigo but there's so many switchbacks and going up it versus down really eliminates a lot of that I think. Have a great time if you choose to go. Definitely worth a stop to explore. It's amazing at Bryce.
My first job was at the lodge at Bryce Canyon way back when. We used to run around those trails at night like it was no big deal (fall off the edge? NAH - not me). We would schedule tours to walk tourists in at night and at one point we would sit them down and tell spooky stories and walk back out. We constantly had tourists who would ask us if we painted the rocks red. We'd tell them it was part of our job to paint them at night when the tourists wouldn't see us. After their reactions, we'd set them straight and tell them the red was natural.
Hahaha!! That's awesome! I can't believe that many people would think (or even believe) that the rocks were painted red. Would be awesome to wander around at night. I bet that was incredible!
Beautiful video of Bryce very informative. Do you still remember how many hours you hiked the figure 8 loop? We are going this month with my teenage boys and my senior citizen mom.
I checked our footage and Glenn started at 9a and finished at 2:30pm. Keep in mind though that filming, changing batteries, etc can eat up some extra time. A pamphlet said it should take about 4-5 hours on average.
Thank you for this super helpful video!! Do you have advice on best place to park to do this loop?? We are going next week and trying to figure out the park/shuttle details. any Advice is welcome!
Oh gosh. Unfortunately when Glenn went the parking situation was pretty insane and lots of cars were waiting for spots to open up blocking traffic so not sure we can be much help there. Unless things have changed our advice would be to not count on parking in the park. He ended up camping at a nearby campground (Ruby's Inn) during that trip which has a shuttle stop right outside and took the shuttle into the park.
Another good video! We are planning a trip in a couple of weeks and with your videos we know what to expect, By the way any interesting stops between the North rin to Bryce NP? Gracias!!
Awesome to hear! Enjoy that trip! While we haven't explored it fully, Kanab, Utah seemed like a cool town worth exploring. A lot of films were made there so if you're into filming locations, it seems that it could be worth checking out.
Curious now that you've done the trail going UP Wallstreet...Would you still opt to travel up or would it be an easier journey going down? We are going in Sept and are in our 50's. Would prefer to know the easier route. Thanks!
If I were to go back, I think I would do the walk down. I don’t see how you could go wrong. You will still be doing some uphill walking, but not as extreme as the trip through Wallstreet.
Amazing views!! Not only did it remind me of Thunder Mountain, but it reminds me of Radiator Springs. I know they say it's modeled after Sedona, but whatever.

We were there in 2015. The most awesome park we ever experienced.
Inspirational in many ways. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you! One of our favorite parks. Always feel so immersed when there amongst the hoodoos. 😊
LOL at the hoot!!!!! I would yell BAH OOOOOH!

Bryce is amazing. Just a small chunk of nature's majesty that exists in Utah. 🤩 I'm sure you'll have a great time if that April trip works out. 😊

@@CactusAtlas Thank you so much for the quick reply! This is more helpful than you know!
This is excellent! Thanks for the commentary and info. How long did it take you?
No problem! Gosh, I don’t remember exactly, but probably 4 to 6 hours. I film a lot so I take longer than most people.
Another good video! We are planning a trip in a couple of weeks and with your videos we know what to expect, By the way any interesting stops between the North rin to Bryce NP? Gracias!!

Yeah, I can see what you’re saying.. It was an amazing landscape. Felt like I was on another planet at times.
Maybe I missed this but what time of year was this hike? Beautiful footage by the way :)
Thanks very much for the nice feedback! This was recorded about a little over a week ago, on 9/27/19.

@@CactusAtlas Thank you for your quick reply. So much appreciated.
Like your videos, but stop yelling in the wilderness, no one else wants to hear it!
Thanks for watching! 👍
