Zion National Park Hiking Trips
This is the hike we had been waiting for the entire road trip! The weather was over 100 degrees, so we took the short 1 mile hike to the creek where we started the narrows hike. This hike is completely in the water, walking upsteam. At times the water got up to our chest, which was a little scary for my new camera and backpack, but we managed to keep the electronics...
One of my all-time favorite hikes. This hike is well documented so there is nothing more I can add, other than it's a hike everyone should experience once. Hiked it this time with my dad, son (age 9) and daughter (age 8).
We were excited for another water hike on such a hot day and after spending a week in the desert on the Colorado plateau. Unfortunately, there was very little water coming from these waterfalls. We had to hurry because we were already about 2 hours behind schedule and still had 2 hours to drive before the night was over, but this brief walk was a nice and relaxing way to end a...
Absolutely fantastic hike: not extremely difficult, but extremely rewarding. Trail head starts at "The Grotto" shuttle stop.
A dayhike on the West Rim trail, from the Grotto trailhead up to West Rim campsite #2, and back.

Another great hike in Zion National park. Weeping rock is an easy walk. But you definitely need to go beyond the weeping rock to enjoy the views. Hidden canyon's view isn't as good as others but getting there is a good experience with great rewards.
After 2+ hours in the car Loren and I were ready to hike the first trail that presented itself to us. This was a short one, made more difficult by the 100 degree weather, but the view was well worth it. After the hike we headed down to the visitors' center before hiking a few more trails in the canyon.
Started from Zion Lodge to Emerald Pools (lower, middle, upper) and then took the Kayenta trail to Grotto and back to Zion Lodge. Emerald pools are popular trails in Zion. The whole loop is an easy hike with great views.
After a day and a half of business meetings in Springdale, UT. I was chomping at the bit to get out and hike. The weather was predicted to turn bad Friday and Saturday, so I figured any time hiking would be a bonus hike. My wife Linda had joined me for the trip and we hooked up with some good friends Steve and Amy for an afternoon in the backcountry. We had...
