Navajo Loop Trail

This 1.4-mile trail descends 521ft from Sunset Point and passes through the famous narrow canyon called Wall Street. It's spectacular, but often closed because of rockfall. Combine part of the Navajo with the Queen’s Garden Trail for an easier ascent. Once you hike the 320ft to Sunrise Point, follow the Rim Trail back to your car (2.9-mile round-trip).

Many trails descend below the rim, but this is one of the most popular.
