Distance 0.8 km
A great, interesting and varied hike with magnificent views of the Zion National Park. You will find an exciting path, which runs mainly on red rocks and leads you to a great panoramic view of the valley and the canyon. At the wide viewing platform, you can climb the many red rocks and simply enjoy the unique views of the park within a short walk. This is a great route to watch the sunset at the end of the day, for example. The route is only accessible on foot and is not accessible for wheelchairs or buggies but manageable for children.
