Torn between skipping the peakaboo loop and heading to Zion for the remainder of the day. At least take in the drive/beauty to Springdale and maybe grab a Zion brew. Should we continue with the figure 8 or make the drive? What’s the pro for spending more time on the peakaboo trail?

The peekaboo trail loop originating from Bryce Point is strenuous and about 5-6 miles. Also, check with the NPS to ensure the trails are open. Storms have shut them down and may not currently be open. Drive to the point, then if problematic head to Springdale for spirits and a good time in town.
if i come accros any dangours animals and i am seperated away from my group how would i act? i am asking this cuase i dont want to be apart from my group and a dangerous animal atack me i wamt to know what to do
A:
This is not for every animal, but you are supposed to seek higher ground, not turn your back on the animal, and act large. Also, throwing things like rocks are also helpful.
Have a three night reservation at the Lodge at Bryce Canyon in late summer. We anticipate crowds so plan to rise early (at dawn) to do hikes, before relaxing in the afternoon. Have some questions for those of you who have traveled to Bryce Canyon and or stayed at the lodge: 1) what is the best time of day to arrive in the area to avoid congestion driving in the park? Am thinking that if we got close to the area around 2:30 in the afternoon, hopefully the drive to the lodge would be less hectic than arriving in the morning; 2) which route is less tiresome on Queensland trail (go down switchbacks rather than up?); 3) What time of day is less congested for traveling south on Highway 89 towards Zion? Is the view better when driving south on the highway than the reverse? [I read that somewhere] Thank you! DM

I can one this with a great deal of certainty. We arrived at the parkaround2:00pm and drove the complete loop with little to no traffic issues. (All things considered). Not a bad time to do. …

Just wondering if taking in the Arches and Bryce would be too much for a 3 day trip. If I make it out there I really want to see both since I probably won’t get another trip. I haven’t looked at travel times from the SLC airport yet...sorry! Maybe I start at Arches then head to Bryce? Which makes the most sense if it’s doable?
A:
I thought a day in Bryce was satisfactory. While I’d love to spend a few days, I don’t feel like I missed out by a day trip. I’ll get my hiking done in other parks.
