I would be in 7th heaven if I could walk this trail (2 miles round trip) every morning! Unbelieveable. More

The last stop of the shuttle bus, it may be tempting to miss this last trail in the park. But it offers one of the most stunning scenery. A fairly flat, paved pathway ends where the Narrows begins. More

This trail is the last stop of the shuttle bus. It is a mile long paved trail up the northern part of the canyon. At the end you can continue but you will be walking in the river so you need appropriate boots and clothing for wet walking. More

First of all, let's clear up some confusion - the 'Temple of Sinawava' is NOT a trail as the title of this webpage (and many reviewers) state, but a landmark/viewing area in Zion canyon so please don't get confused, but instead read on..... The trail referred to that leads north from this landmark is actually called the 'Riverside Walk' and... More

This is not a trail, but a trailhead, parking area and shuttle drop off and pick up spot. The Riverside Walk and the Zion Narrows both begin at the Temple of Sinawava. In the winter you can drive your own vehicle to this location - which is also the end of Zion Canyon and the rest of the year you... More

Walk up the beginning of the Zion narrows, can be leisurely and is fine for strollers and wheelchairs. Beautiful views and fun watching the hikers in the river More

This is an accessible trail for all that follows the river. It's well maintained and both times we walked it, we saw deer grazing along side of the trail! After walking this the first time, we decided to rent the dry suits to hike the Narrows that beckoned at the end of the trail. More

The variety of the scenery on this trail is amazing, everything from a swamp to a "weeping" wall to desert landscape. At the right time, you can see a great waterfall near the entrance. It is an easy walk, too. More
