Zion National Park

Utah

Zion NP is pure drama: towering red cliffs, slot canyons, lush oases; weather youre here to ‘crush hikes” or “cruise the views” there’s a lot of Wow!

Angels Landing: one of the most iconic and thrilling hikes in the U.S. (permit required lottery only), not for the faint of heart, (narrow ridge + Chain Holds = adrenaline rush, unbeatable views!

The Narrows: Did it! Walk in the Virgin River between 1000-ft canyon walls (in the water!) water shoes, hiking stick recommended, check flash flood warnings before going

Canyon Overlook Trail: short, sweet, stunning. Great for sunrise/sunset, much less crowded than Angels Landing

Zion Canyon Scenic Drive: acess to major trails at The Grotto, Court of the Patriarchs, and Temple of Sinawava (shuttle-only most year or stop at visitor center for handicap permit)

Emerald Pools: series of moderate hikes to lower, middle and upper pools; waterfalls, lush greenery, chill
