Rim Trail is a 5.4-mile loop in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, managed by the National Park Service. The trail rises from a low point of 7,774 feet to a high of 8,376 feet, with a total elevation gain of 769 feet. It is a moderate hike, and the Rim Trail Sunset Point Trailhead sits just 0.1 mile away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 52°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the rim run a little cooler. The trail makes an easy pairing with other hikes close by. Queens Garden Trail and Queens Garden Hike the Hoodoos are each about 0.3 mile away, and North Campground and Sunset Campground are both about 0.7 mile off.
