My husband and I got up extra early on our last day hiking in Zion to hike up this trail just before dawn and catch the sunrise. What an amazing experience! The trail can be a bit tricky in places (more so in the dark than in the daylight when we came down) but the views are so cool. It was the perfect ending to an amazing trip. The drive in and thru the tunnel was also beautiful.

The hardest part of this hike is finding parking. Once you get a spot it’s a bit of a climb up with some twists and turns along the way but once you get to the end you are rewarded with a fantastic view. The initial climb up is steep but doable. There are guide rails in place in stretches but it is a simple hike and worth the time

As the parking lots at the start of this trail are often full, it's a lottery to be able to get to this trail at all. But if you are a bit lucky, as I and my boyfriend were, you get a change to have a small walk and enjoy beautiful views. Here you also literally stand on the rocks that you can just admire from distance at some other places. The trail is nothing that much challenging, but it leads up to the hill and it's surely not wheelchair accessible, or suitable for someone who might be quickly tired.

My favourite hike in Zion Park. It's relatively short, but it's scenic the entire way, and the views are amazing at the final viewpoint. Plus the drive up to the trailhead from the valley is also very scenic. There is a parking lot, but it will almost certainly be full; most people park along the highway and walk to the start of the trail. Nevertheless, it was not as crowded as most of the trails in Zion; perhaps the stairs at the beginning weed out some of the potential hikers. While the trail is easy, footwear with good grip and ankle support is helpful, as the trail can be slippery and rocky in places.

It might be the most beautiful trail in Zion, but it is often hard to get to because there is so little parking just after the tunnel. It has some drop offs and steep areas but is overall moderate. It’s also fairly short to get to the breathtaking views of Zion Canyon.

Hiked Canyon Overlook Trail – what a thrill! Simple hike with a spectacular payoff. The view of the canyon at the end was like a dream. It's like nature's way of saying, 'Welcome to Zion!
