The views were great. We went up to scout outlook. 4.8 miles there and back. It took about 2 1/2 hours there and back. This was a strenuous hike with very little shade.

We hopped on this trail at the Scouts looking / Angels Landing split. It was a fantastic hike with amazing views. Nothing too challenging, just some elevation changes- but you are met with many different picturesque scenes along the way. Even hiking an hour in and an hour back was well worth it. Definitely one of the least populated trails we encountered in Zion (which was nice).

Long and a bit brutal when you get to all the down grade if you do top down. One of the best hikes I have ever done. Just about the best views you can get of Zion.

It was really nice. I hiked to the West Rim Spring (3 more miles from the first split of angels landing). It is a beautiful hike, quite lonely cause most people decide to go just to angels landing. Bring enough water, food and energy. From start (bus station 6) to the spring it is about 5 miles. You will be about 800 meters above starting point. On top there are 2 camps and a little spring, water should be purified. Can recommend it. Back and forth took me 04:18 hours for a total of about 10 miles and many high meters.

Amazing views of Zion National Park. Took the trail from The Grotto. The telephone trail is mediocre, the rest is amazing.

We did about 16 miles in 9 hours. One of the most beautiful trails I’ve ever seen. Some parts can get slick and hazardous when wet. We didn’t find water along the way but 2ltrs a piece was good for us.
