Piracy Point Trail

Piracy Point at Bryce Canyon National Park near Bryce Canyon City, Utah is an easy 0.4-mile out-and-back hike that leads to the stunning overlook of the canyon named Piracy Point.

Hike
Hikers will begin this trail north of Farview Point, located essentially at the same trailhead, and hike north along the Piracy Point Trail as it meanders its way along the canyon rim to reach the overlook at the end of the trail. From Piracy Point, hikers will find sweeping views of Bryce Canyon's cliffs, rocky outcroppings, and steep canyon walls that drop hundreds of feet below. The trail has a small loop (lollipop) at the end where hikers will find views facing eastward, north, and south.

Fees
Bryce Canyon National Park has a $35/week entry fee as of September 2023. Visitors are highly encouraged to purchase an annual National Parks pass before their trip to reduce entry fees (especially if you're passing through multiple parks) and to also speed-up the very-long line that leads into the park.
