Hotel Access Trail is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, managed by the National Park Service. The trail is about 0.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 12 feet, so it's a gentle walk rather than a climb. It starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with the high point at about 7,978 feet and the low point at about 7,946 feet. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June through September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 75°F in June to about 80°F in July, with September easing back to around 70°F. Winter is cold, with typical January highs near 37°F and lows around 17°F. A fee is charged for the hike. The trail sits within the park's network of routes, and the Rim Trail and Queens Garden Hike the Hoodoos both lie about 0.2 miles away. North Campground and Sunset Campground are each about half a mile off.
