The Watchman Trail

From the bank of the Virgin River to the top of a stunning rock formation, The Watchman Trail is a great hiking option near the entrance to Zion Canyon in Zion National park. The trail follows an out and back route. Because of the steep sections and switchbacks, most hikers consider this a moderate hike. From the top you’ll have southern views to The Watchman and views north to The Beehive and The Sentinel. The views of the canyon, the park entrance, and the town of Springfield below are definitely worth the trip.

Canyon Overlook Trail

Just on the other side of the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel is the short and sweet Canyon Overlook Trail. This quick out-and-back route takes you to magical views of Pine Creek Canyon. From here you’ll be able to see all the way to Zion Canyon and take in the stunning beauty of the rock formations of Zion National Park. The trail is short, but includes steep sections, so appropriate footwear is definitely recommended. Note that the National Park shuttle bus does not stop here, and the parking lot is small. Take that into consideration when planning to hike the Canyon Overlook Trail.

Grotto Trail

This hike is most popular for guests of the Zion Lodge and anyone looking for a casual stroll within proximity to the road in Zion National Park. It leads through open cottonwood groves and meadows at the foot of towering cliffs, including a great view of Angels Landing Buttress directly ahead....

Timber Creek Overlook Trail

The Timber Creek Overlook Trail is a spectacular hike in the Kolob Canyons, a less visited section of Zion National Park. Zion Canyon is the star of the park, but The Kolob Canyons hold the whole thing together. Take a short drive from the Zion Canyon main entrance, and you’ll find a less busy but equally breathtaking section of the park. The Timber Creek Overlook Trail is an easy out and back route of just over a mile. From the viewpoint at its end, you’ll be treated to views of the magnificent Kolob Canyons. On a clear day, you might even be able to see all the way south to the Kaibab Plateau on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Taylor Creek Trail

Observation Point via East Mesa Trail

The Observation Point Via East Mesa trail takes the bold hiker from the East Mesa trailhead to a vista hundreds of feet higher than Angels Landing. This is one of the most spectacular spots along the East Rim of Zion Canyon. The trail follows an out and back route. It is not particularly steep, but because of the length most hikers consider this a moderate hike. Check out the photos from the community and get excited for the stunning views from the top.

Many Pools

West Rim Trail: Point-to-Point Backpack

Riverside Walk

The Riverside Walk in Zion National Park is a stunningly beautiful, family friendly, and accessible hiking trail. Take the shuttle to The Temple of Sinawava. From there you’ll meander along the Virgin River. You'll be surrounded by towering red rock cliffs and lush vegetation. The out-and-back trail is paved and designed to be accessible to wheelchair users, but be sure to check with park officials as sand often makes the path difficult for adaptive hikers to navigate. This trail is the starting point for those attempting the longer Narrows Hike, so you may see hikers in waterproof gear making their way towards the deeper reaches of the canyon.

Angels Landing

The Angels Landing Trail is the world-renowned must-do of Zion National Park, notorious for "the chains" that guard the final overlook. The chains are an upward traverse of an exposed ridgeline that drops away sheerly for hundreds of feet....

Hayduke Trail: Hack Canyon to Zion National Park

The Arizona Strip is the wide-open, mostly flat high desert between the Grand Canyon and the Vermillion Cliffs, south of Zion. After living in the depths of the canyon, re-emerging to big skies, dirt roads, and cattle country may be an unwelcome shock....
