Queen's Garden, Peekaboo Loop and Wall Street


Queen's Garden Trail
 
Peek-a-boo Loop










Begin your hike at Sunrise and hike down Queen's Garden.  Don't take the horse trail at the junction.  At the bottom, take the side trail to the Queen's garden.  This is a great place to take a break.
Then hike toward the Navajo Loop.  From there take the Peek-a-boo trail.  Clockwise is the easiest way to go around.
Then go up Wall Street to Sunset Point.  At the top you can either shuttle back to Sunrise Point or walk the rim trail.
