Figure-8 Combination

The Figure-8 Combination combines three amphitheater hikes, Queen's Garden, Navajo Loop, and the Peekaboo Loop, into one ultimate hike! We recommend a clockwise direction descending Queen's Garden, connecting to the Peekaboo Loop (we recommend hiking it in a clockwise direction), and ascending either side of the Navajo Loop (Two Bridges in winter). From there you can complete the trail by hiking back to Sunrise Point along the Rim Trail. Trailhead: Sunrise Point or Sunset Point Parking: Available at both Sunrise and Sunset Points (check when parking lots are busiest). Oversized vehicles are not permitted in these parking areas when the shuttle is in operation. Distance: 6.4 miles (10.3 km) Approximate Time: 4-5 hours Elevation Gain: 1575 feet (480 meters) Difficulty: Strenuous (rapid elevation gain, longer length) Services: Accessible restrooms available at Sunset Point (year-round) and available at the General Store near Sunrise Point (seasonally). Water-fill stations available at Sunset Point (seasonally), the Sunset Point restroom (year-round), and the General Store (seasonally). Pit toilets on the west side of Peekaboo Loop (summer only) Shuttle Service: Yes. This trail may be inaccessible during mid-winter due to snow depths ranging from 2-15 ft. (.7-5 m) Pets are not allowed on this trail. Service animals are allowed in national parks. What is a service animal? Hikers will encounter horses and mules on the Peekaboo Loop and should give the right-of-way to these riders. You can hike these trails individually as the Peekaboo Loop, Queen's Garden, and the Navajo Loop.
