ULTIMATE FAMILY GUIDE: WHAT TO DO IN ZION NATIONAL PARK

Zion’s towering sandstone monoliths, slot canyons, rock formations and hanging gardens attracts outdoor adventures and intrepid travelers from all over the globe. 

Riverside Walk

This Riverside Walk is a super easy 2.2 mile return walk beside the Virgin River and one of the most popular trails in the park. It is the last stop on the shuttle bus at the Temple of Sinawava.

Hike the Narrow

The Narrows is a hike focused on wading up the Virgin River, so you want to ensure you can handle it, and your kids can too. 

Upper and Lower Emerald Pool

The Lower Emerald Pool trail is short and one of the easiest Mt Zion National Park trails and leads to the Lower Emerald Pool and bottom of the waterfalls. The Upper Emerald Pool Trail was closed when we visited due to rock fall.

Weeping Rock Trail

The paved trail ends at a rock alcove with dripping springs. It looks like the rock is weeping and at the right time of year the greenery will bring out a hanging garden.

Canyon Overlook Trail

The trail is rocky most of the way but is super cool as it passes through a couple of caves and you have a good chance of seeing Bighorn Sheep.
