Riggs Spring Loop Trail is the perfect trail for hikers wishing to escape to the wilderness. This is one of the least trafficked trails in Bryce Canyon and one of the most forested. The ponderosa pines surround the Riggs Spring Loop Trail, after your decent into the canyon, making this a unique trail in the park.

The loop is a little over 8 miles in length. Because of its length and steep ascent, Riggs Spring Loop Trail is considered one of the more difficult trails in Bryce Canyon. The loop ascends and descends 2248 feet. Hikers should come prepared for a long, strenuous hike.

Riggs Spring Loop Trail begins near Rainbow Point and Yovimpa Point. Hikers connect to the loop using Bristlecone Loop Trail. This trail begins at the Rainbow Point parking lot. From Bristlecone Loop Trail hikers can find clearly marked turn offs for Riggs Spring Loop Trail. The turn offs are found about a quarter mile from the trailhead. 

Though Riggs Spring Loop Trail has fewer views of the more popular Bryce Canyon rock formations, hikers experience wonderful views of the Pink Cliffs and green forests that can’t be experienced anywhere else in the park. Riggs Spring Loop Trail is a wonderful way for hikers to experience some of the park's lesser known beauties on a peaceful trail.
