Bryce Canyon Traverse (UT)

Description

This is a pretty straightforward route that traverses a National Park (albeit a tiny one) and is a fun, very runnable 50k distance that has been done a number of times though doesn't seem to be popular. We didn't see a single person on the entirety of the Under the Rim Trail, which the park describes as unmaintained. There's certainly some blowdown in Agua Canyon (through an old burn) and a handful of washes to cross but they're easy to navigate.
