Hikes
https://utah.com/zion-national-park/angels-landing
Anyone in an average physical condition can make this heavenward trek, but it can be mentally challenging with its steep switchbacks and sheer drop-offs. There are chains bolted into the cliff to provide secure handholds on the final stretch, but people who have a severe fear of heights should not attempt this section. They’ll have to settle for stopping at Scout Lookout and enjoying the unforgettable, life-changing view from there instead. Sigh.
Trailhead
The Grotto Trailhead - Zion Canyon. Can be easily accessed by taking the Zion Canyon Shuttle from the visitor center.
Difficulty
Strenuous; steep with exposure to long drop-offs
Distance
5 miles (round trip), 4-5 hours
Elevation change1,488 feet
Angels Landing is one of the world's most renowned hikes and is an unforgettable adventure worthy of all bucket lists. The stunning views of Zion Canyon's 270-million-year-old rock layers will time travel you back to the Triassic period when this section of the Colorado Plateau was just a flat basin at sea level. Talk about a glow-up! And you know that old expression “getting there is half the fun”? Well with Angels Landing it’s closer to three-quarters of the fun. Or ninety-nine hundredths of the fun.
Best Time to Hike
The best times of year to hike Angels Landing are spring, summer, and fall. Summer afternoons are hot — “pizza rolls fresh out of the microwave” hot — so get up early in the morning while temperatures are still cool. An early start will also help you beat the crowds, making those big yawns and bleary eyes worth it with the reward of solitary(ish) views. During winter, the trail ices over and can be extremely dangerous; it’s best to just avoid this season altogether and save this adventure for another time. Lastly, do not hike during a thunderstorm — lightning will strike.
Other factors
Restrooms and drinking water are available at the Grotto. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks for the whole hike (there aren’t too many convenience stores in the middle of a national park) and bring a small backpack to hold it all so your hands are free to hold onto the chains.
Route description
The trailhead is at the bridge across the road of the Grotto Picnic Area, in Zion Canyon. The first part of the hike follows the West Rim Trail, which is clearly identified by a sign. The trail is broad and well maintained. The first section is fairly level as it follows the river and then crosses the canyon bottom. Switchbacks allow the trail to climb the canyon wall up to Refrigerator Canyon. The aptly named canyon is pleasantly cool, scenic, and features easy terrain.
The trail then climbs another series of switchbacks called Walter's Wiggles. These 21 switchbacks are very tight and hikers gain elevation rapidly, but this section is short and not too oppressive.
The Wiggles put you on top of the ridge, at Scout Lookout, where the views are truly amazing. Restrooms are available here, but no drinking water. From Scout Lookout, gaze at the ridge to the south and you'll get a good idea of the difficulty of the rest of the hike.
For the final half-mile, the trail follows the ridge across a saddle and up the Hogsback. This is where things get just a tad hairy and you become very grateful for the bolted-in chains. For those who are comfortable with both heights and the terrain ahead, the destination is well worth the adventurous route to get there. From Angels Landing Summit you can enjoy one of the finest views in all of Zion National Park. That means it’s one of the best views in Utah, which means it’s one of the best views in the world.

Easy Bryce Canyon Hikes
Mossy Cave Trail
Length: .9 miles (1.5 km)
Altitude Climb: 300 feet (91 m)
This hike follows the trail of a 1900 pioneer irrigation ditch, going from the East Fork of the Sevier River through Paunsaugunt Plateau.
Scenic Rim Trail
Total Distance: 5.5 miles (9.16 km)
Climb: 1754 feet (535 m)
This trail is the only paved trail in the park, it follows along the entire rim of the main amphitheater.
Bristlecone Loop
Distance:1.0 miles (1.6 km)
Climbing: 195 feet (59 m)
The southernmost trail in the park, this trail will take you through a forest of Bristlecone Pines, which can live up to 1,800 years. Throughout the trail you will be able to see vistas that range as far as the four corners area.
You can reach this trail by the famous Rainbow Point. This hike wonders through deep Bristle cone covered Forrest along far south end of Bryce Canyon. The shade of the mature Pine Trees can give you a more pleasant mid day hike during the summer months.
Top Hat – The top Hat trail takes you to vantage points where you can see the famous Top Hat formations. These are Hoodoos that have rock formations sitting on top of them resembling a top hat. These are truly one of a kind and a must see for hikers of all skill set and age.
Tower Bridge – This trail begins at Sunrise Point and head along the Fairyland Loop Trail, it passes a famous rock formation that looks much like an old English bridge, with two giant holes that makes the formation appear to be suspended in air! So many of Bryce Canyons Hoodoos and formations are truly unique but this is a common favorite and a must see formation. Its better for photographs as well as to view in the morning or evening when the sun will shine and light up through the massive hole in this hoodoo formation.
Backcountry Hikes
The Under-the-Rim Trail extends 23 miles from Bryce Point to Rainbow Point and has eight backcountry campsites.
The Riggs Spring Loop Trail (8.8 miles round trip) from Yovimpa Point has four backcountry sites. Both trails drop below the rim of the plateau and lead through forested areas. A backcountry permit is required for all overnight hiking. Permits are available at the Visitor Center for $5.
Trails which wind down below the rim through the rock formations include:
Fairyland Loop (8 miles round trip)This trail begins at Fairyland point taking you through beautiful Hoodoos and unimaginable scenery along the Northern section of Bryce Canyon. Many of these trail are not far from each other so if you have the time this is another popular trail.
Peekaboo Loop (4.8 or 6.8 miles round trip)
Queen’s Garden (1.8 miles round trip)
Navajo Loop (1.5 miles round trip) More Info
The Peekaboo Loop Trail also serves as a horse trail.
Keep in mind that all trails below the rim involve steep climbs out of the canyon. Wear hiking boots with good traction and ankle support. Drink plenty of water. Know and respect your own physical limitations.

Moqui Caverns (Kanab Sand Caves) is located about 5.5 miles from Kanab, Utah. It is between Moqui Cave and the Best Friend Animal Sanctuary exit on US-89. Even though they are down the street from each other, Moqui Cave and Moqui Caverns are two different things. Moqui Cave is a neat, paid little museum while Moqui Caverns is a sandstone cave system that is free to visit.

From Kanab, take US-89 going North toward Mt. Carmel Junction. About 0.5 miles before getting to the museum, there is a big turn-out on the left-hand side that you can park. The trailhead is right across from this big turn-out. The Moqui Caverns and the trailhead are on the same side as the museum. This is not an actual trail so there won’t be any signages. However, you actually can see these beautiful Kanab sand caves from the road.

Pareah Ghost Town
Pahreah (aka Paria):
Founded in 1870 by Mormon settlers, the town grew quickly and soon had many log and sandstone homes, a general store, and a church. Unfortunately, many floods in the 1880s caused several residents to abandon the town. in 1911, a gold mine brought hope of revival. However, the mine also flooded in a year later and the Post Office officially closed it's doors in 1914. Beginning in 1961, filmmakers began using the location of Pareah for sets such as Sergeants 3 and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Visitors often mistook the film sets as part of the ghost town.
