Does Bryce Canyon require a hiking permit or lottery?

No. Bryce Canyon has no permit or lottery system for day hikes — every trail along the rim and down into the amphitheater (Navajo Loop, Queen's Garden, Peekaboo, and more) is open to walk-up hikers with paid park entry. A backcountry permit is only required for overnight trips on the Under-the-Rim and Riggs Spring Loop trails.
