I will say, this hike is quite the effort. But man oh man, is it worth it. I only planned one day to visit the park, so I decided to hit all of the hikes I’ve been told to hit in one go. Grand total of the hike is roughly 16 miles, 3000 feet of elevation gain. If you’re the kind of person that enjoys long hikes with a challenge, this route is definitely for you. Route: 1) Start at Sunrise Point, then hike Fairyland Loop Trail (counterclockwise). I’d recommend starting the hike right at sunrise. Practically everyone that gets to the park early is going to Sunrise Point. There was a decent crowd when I arrived, but the second I started descending into the amphitheater I was completely alone. The first stint of this hike during golden hour is absolutely stunning, and provided a great breakfast view when I stopped along the way. This trail will bring you right back to Sunrise Point. 1b) At this point, I stopped to hit the restrooms, eat a quick snack, and stretch before I continued.…
