The Lower Red Reef Trail at Red Cliffs National Conservation Area is an easy hike which leads to a beautiful slot canyon. For a more difficult hike, continue on with the Moki steps.

A short, easy climb takes you to a view at the end of the Silver Reef Trail.
The upper portion of the Petrified Dunes Trail at Snow Canyon State Park lets you wander at will once you get on the slickrock surfaces.

White Rock Amphitheater is reached by a short walk that starts just outside the north entrance to the park.
The Lava Flow Trail has many interesting features in addition to views of the petrified dunes, and it leads to the West Canyon Overlook.

Cedar Breaks National Monument is not far from Bryce Canyon, and you pass right through it if you're taking the scenic route from Cedar City. Here we have views from Point Supreme and Chessman Ridge.
