LEARN THE STORIES OF THE BRYCE CANYON LOOP!

Discover Bryce Canyon the way locals do: by moonlight, in silence, with no strangers around you. Goop the Loop is a tradition passed down quietly on nights when the moon is bright enough, the Navajo Loop becomes an unreal landscape of silver-lit hoodoos and soft canyon shadows. This private experience is designed for couples, families, and guests who want Bryce Canyon to themselves. Your personal guide sets the pace, shares the stories behind this ritual, and reveals the canyon’s hidden night personality. Dates are extremely limited and determined by lunar conditions. If you see a night available, it’s because the moon has given us permission.
