For safety reasons, the connector trail from Bryce Point to Peekaboo Loop is closed due to severe icy conditions. Peekaboo Loop may still be accessed from the Two Bridges side of Navajo Loop and the Figure 8 Combination Trail.
The Connecting Trail from Bryce Point to the Peekaboo Loop and the Wall Street side of Navajo Loop are closed for the winter season. The Two Bridges side of Navajo Loop remains open year-round, allowing access to Peekaboo Loop and Queen's Garden. More
Swamp Canyon appears relatively small and sheltered from the overlook, allowing the viewer to develop a more intimate connection with the landscape than some of the grander viewpoints in the park. The Swamp Canyon Loop, which starts at the viewpoint, is more rugged than the Bryce Amphitheater trails, taking hikers into a more forested backcountry hike. There is less signage on this hike and hikers are encouraged to carry a map.
The main park road is 18 miles (29 km) from the park entrance in the north to the end of the road at Rainbow at Yovimpa Points. While the Bryce Amphitheater area is found along its first 3 miles (4.8 km), the next 15 miles (24 km) to the road's end are known as the Southern Scenic Drive. Along this section of the main road are 9 scenic overlooks and vehicle pullouts that offer opportunities to see the lesser-seen geology and wildlife of Bryce Canyon.
