There are quite a few easy hiking trails at Zion National Park to explore that range from 0.4 miles to 3.5 miles with no more than 100 feet elevation gain.
This hike takes about 5 minutes along a sandy trail to reach the top of a hill overlooking the Visitor Center and the Watchman Campground. You'll see an old Ancestral Puebloan food storage shelter.
The trail runs along the road to connect the Zion Lodge to the Grotto. It’s a terrific trail to see wildlife. We also like the trails that run along the river in this area.
Weeping Rock is a short but steep paved trail with minor drop-offs. It takes you to a rock alcove with dripping springs. There’s a terrific view of Temple of Sinawava.
The Riverside Walk is a paved Zion National Park trail that follows the Virgin River along the bottom of a narrow canyon. It’s a wonderful place to photograph the river and small waterfalls along the trail.
