Embark on an easy 2.1-mile (3.3 km) hike along the Angels Palace Trail, a route that takes about 54 minutes to complete. You will gain 175 feet (53 metres) in elevation as you traverse sandy paths and slickrock. The trail offers sweeping views of Kodachrome Basin State Park, where distinctive red, orange, and white cliffs rise around you. Look for unique sandstone formations like 'toadstools' and 'goblins' along the way, adding to the geological wonder of your journey. This loop provides a memorable experience through diverse terrain.
While the Angels Palace Trail is generally considered easy, be prepared for a brief, steep climbing section. Some viewpoints feature narrow paths and steep drop-offs, which might be challenging if you are uncomfortable with heights. Navigation on the double loop at the top can sometimes be less distinct, but it is difficult to get truly lost on this well-defined route. Plan your visit during cooler parts of the day to best enjoy the open desert landscape.
The Angels Palace Trail provides an intimate look at the unique geological features of Kodachrome Basin State Park. From viewpoints like The Spine, you can see the Basin Campground and even Bryce Canyon National Park on clear days. The park itself is renowned for its numerous sedimentary pipes and spires, making this trail a prime example of the region's natural artistry. Discover the diverse terrain and geological formations that make this area so special.
