DISCOVER THE ZION NATIONAL PARK
Zion National Park in Utah, one of the most visited national parks in the U.S., is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Its soaring sandstone cliffs, winding rivers, and diverse wildlife set the scene for endless exploring. Discover these areas like never before with seven unique ways to experience Zion.

Zion is home to iconic hiking trails, from the lofty summit of Angels Landing to the scenic riverbed of The Narrows, but there are plenty of lesser-known trails that offer unique perspectives of the park:

  • Zion Canyon Overlook Trail is a 1-mile out-and-back hike that offers stunning views of Zion Canyon, with towering red cliffs and juniper lining the trail route.
  • Timber Creek Overlook Trail offers a 4-mile round-trip adventure through a diverse landscape of forests and rocky outcroppings, with views of the picturesque Kolob Canyons. Keep an eye out for wildlife like mule deer, wild turkeys, and golden eagles along the way.
  • Emerald Pools Trail is a moderate 3-mile round-trip hike that leads to a series of cascading waterfalls and crystal-clear pools, surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs and views of the Virgin River below.
  • The Watchman Trail is an easy 3.3-mile round trip hike from the Zion Visitor Center that follows a leisurely walk along the Virgin River before heading to the top of Watchman Peak. The higher you go, the better the view gets of Zion Canyon and the surrounding desert landscape.
  • Observation Point Trail is a challenging 8-mile round-trip adventure that takes you up a steep climb through a series of switchbacks, with spectacular views of Zion Canyon and surrounding mountains at every turn. As you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with a panoramic view of the entire park, stretching out as far as the eye can see.

GO CANYONEERING
Explore the heart of Zion’s landscape with a once-in-a-lifetime canyoneering tour. This thrilling experience involves navigating narrow slot canyons, rappelling down cliffs, and wading through water-filled canyons.

Several guide services in the park offer canyoneering tours, ranging from beginner-friendly trips to more challenging adventures. This truly unique experience is one you’ll never forget!

GAZE AT THE NIGHT SKY
With its remote location and little to no light pollution, Zion National Park is one of the best places in the U.S. for stargazing. Marvel at the Milky Way, trace the planets, and make a wish upon countless stars.

For a unique perspective, use the park’s jagged cliffs and rock formations to frame the starry skies above. Zion National Park is open to visitors 24/7 and the park offers several ranger-led astronomy programs throughout the year, as well as several stargazing events.

Whether you prefer a leisurely ride or a more challenging one, biking in Zion is a unique and unforgettable way to explore the park. There are several outfitters and bike shops just minutes from the park entrance for Zion bike rentals.

THE WILDFLOWERS 
Wildflowers are not normally the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Zion National Park’s colorful landscape. Zion is known for its stunning red rock canyons and Utah desert landscape.

However, during the late spring and early summer months Zion Canyon is lined with colorful blooms from thousands of native plant and flower species. In fact, “Zion has the most species in Utah and has the highest density of species” according to MyUtahParks.com.

Depending on how late the snow lasts in and around Zion, late spring or early summer are the best times to see wildflowers in Zion Canyon. With good winter snow, the canyon comes to life in late April and early May. In higher elevations, early June is also an ideal time to see wildflowers dot the landscape.

With enough rain during the summer, fall brings about a second round of blooms. While peak summer months bring more heat and more predictable weather patterns, late spring and early summer is an ideal time to visit Zion National Park for fewer crowds and beautiful spring color.
