Lots of Variety

This is a great advanced hike with a lot of variety. The view from Zion is nothing short of amazing, particularly on a nice clear day. The canyons are beautiful. Reviewed by GearNW.com.

Zion's best hike

I have done tthis hike twice and nothing beats the view in Zion.   A good hike for those afraid of Angeles Landing.   The drop of here is just as great in  a couple of spots but at least it only on one side.  The hike also ofers a variety.   The top is great place to have lunch.

Got caught in a lightning storm with my 8 year old son.  This trail is a little scary when wet, otherwise it's a great hike.  Some really interesting canyons on your way up.  Fine for kids if they obey your every command, should be good hikers.  There are a lot of sharp dropoffs from a very narrow trail.  Well worth the effort.  Zion's the best for relatively short hikes with truly world class views.
