Wall Street is a section of the Navajo Loop Trail, which descends from Sunset Point into Bryce Canyon's amphitheater. The slot canyon showcases towering Douglas firs that have grown for centuries in the depths of the rift, framed by soaring red-orange rock walls.

The canyon was formed through frost wedging—a process where water seeps into rock cracks, freezes, and expands, breaking the rock apart. Bryce Canyon experiences freeze-thaw cycles on more than half the days of the year, making it ideal for this type of erosion.

The Douglas firs in Wall Street are adapted to thrive in the shaded canyon floor despite the dry climate, with cones littering the ground beneath them. The Navajo Loop Trail, which includes Wall Street, became one of Bryce Canyon's most popular hikes after the trail system was developed in the early days of the park.

Bryce Canyon was established as a national monument in 1923 and became a national park on February 25, 1928. The park was heavily promoted by the Union Pacific Railroad and the Forest Service, with early photographs and articles sparking national interest.
