Travel: Zion National Park, Utah (1 of 2)
2025-05-20 - Zion National Park, southwest Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com
Robert writes, "This image is from the 'grand finale' spot at the end of the Canyon Overlook Trail. A very popular hike in Zion, and one of my favorites. It's one of the shorter hikes, with not much of an elevation gain and the added bonus of seeing most of the canyon from above. Plus, if you have a fear of heights, and want to engage that fear, you can walk as close to the fence as you dare! Hey, even I got up the nerve and touched the fence!
Parking is limited for this hike. One tiny spot near the entrance of the tunnel through the mountain and a few further down the road, adding another 1/4 mile to the hike. Even if you can't score a spot, the drive from the canyon floor to the top of the mountain and through the tunnels as well as the viewing the geological formations on top of the mountain (Checkerboard Mesa in particular) makes it a must see and highly recommended to be included in your itinerary.
From this road, you'll be on the route that takes you to Bryce Canyon National Park, and Mossy Cave trail (part of Bryce) as well as the State Parks; Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Red Rock and Kodachrome. There's also a couple slot canyons near Bryce as well. We hiked into Willis Creek slot canyon on this trip...but more on that later." Comments | Permalink
