Zion National Park is one of the most iconic national parks in the country. What makes Zion unique is its towering red rocks, spectacular views, amazing slot canyons,  and  a collection of incredible hikes.

Some of the most popular hikes in the park include Angel’s Landing and The Narrows. Angel’s Landing takes one up a multitude of switchbacks before reaching the summit some 1,500 feet above the valley floor. From here one can climb the precarious trail that leads to Scout’s Lookout and gives an expansive view of the valley below. The Narrows is a unique hike that follows a river inside a gorge of Zion Canyon. Hiking through the river and looking up at the steep canyon walls makes for a memorable experience. Another wonderful trek, and perhaps my favorite in the park, is the Observation Point Trail. It is 8 miles round trip and ascends over 2000 feet from start to finish. It offers wonderful views of the enormous red canyons that form the vast scenery.
