SIGHTSEEING
Whatever the season, there are some Must See Sights that you can’t go home without. After all, what would you tell your friends? We take you to the most Scenic Roads in Zion as well as Roads to Zion that offer spectacular natural or cultural beauty. Many take you by Other National Parks that must be on that life list of places you have to go before you die.
Many of Zion’s greatest sights are visible from the road, where your friendly shuttle driver will point them out. Choose from a variety of hikes accessible from the shuttle drop off points, or feel free to get off anywhere. There are no bad hikes within the canyon. Don’t miss Riverside Walk beside the Virgin River, the Temple of Sinawava and the Narrows. Weeping Rock Trail is an easy half mile hike with seeps and a wondrous hanging garden. The Emerald Pools Trail takes you to three pools fed by waterfalls. Zion is one of the most beautiful parks in the nation, so take the time to just sit and stare. We give you the inside scoop on what to look for. > See MoreBryce Canyon National Park and Grand Canyon National Park are two more “stairs” in the Grand Staircase Escalante, the name given to the geological plateau of the area and are both spectacular parks to check out.
