Trail Facts
Overview
The Zion Canyon Overlook Trail is a fun way to experience the thrill of Zion National Park without riding the shuttle or dealing with the herds of people at the visitors center. This is a family friendly hike, but you’ll want to keep your kids close as there are many ledges and drops. There are incredible views into Pine Creek canyon for the first 1/2 mile, and then into Zion Canyon, at the overlook. You will climb staircases cut into the rock face, pass over the bridge that hangs out over the expanse and enjoy vistas of the wide open canyon. Bring your camera, because you will want to capture these views for keepsakes!
