• Kolob Canyons Visitor Center - Upon arrival, make sure to stop by the Kolob Canyons Visitor Center to present your park pass.
• Timber Creek Overlook Trail - This easy, short trail offers a panoramic view of Kolob Canyons, the Pine Valley Mountains, and Red Butte. If time is limited for a short hike in Kolob Canyons, this is the one to choose!
• La Verkin - At La Verkin Overlook, enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Zion Canyon, the Virgin River Gorge, Pine Valley Mountains, and La Verkin itself.

To reach there, a 15-minute round-trip drive on a gravel road is required.

• The Subway - Passing by one of Zion’s most popular canyoneering spots: The Subway.

The Subway requires a Wilderness Permit from the Zion lottery, so a ticket is necessary. There are two ways to explore The Subway: from the bottom-up or the top-down.

The bottom-up route is less technical, requires no canyoneering, and starts at the Left Fork trailhead on the right.

• Lava Point Overlook - Lava Point Overlook is a basalt cliff offering views of a lush volcanic valley filled with pinyon, juniper, and white pine trees.

From the over 2,400-meter-high overlook, you can see the Paunsaugunt Plateau of Bryce and even the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

This viewpoint requires no hike, so as long as the weather permits, continue on Kolob Terrace Road.

• Grafton Cemetery - Discover the most photographed ghost town in the West! This abandoned Mormon settlement still has several cabins, houses, and a town hall to explore. This well-preserved glimpse into the past was the filming location for the famous bike scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Be sure to take plenty of selfies and share them on social media!
• Grafton Ghost Town - Grafton is a ghost town with a unique history.

While most abandoned settlements were once mining towns—subject to the boom and bust nature of mining—Grafton is an agricultural ghost town.

Visitors today can see the abandoned houses and even enter a few.

• Zion Canyon Visitor Center - Welcome to Zion Canyon! At this first park stop, take a moment to speak with the rangers, grab a map, use the restroom, and fill up your water bottles. If a wilderness permit is needed, this is where to obtain one. Check the schedule for any ranger talks or walks of interest. There is also a bookstore and gift shop, but it’s best to save those for after your hikes. When ready, join the line for the shuttle (if it’s shuttle season) and prepare for adventure!
• Pa’rus Trail - Does the park shuttle line seem daunting? There’s another option for those in the know.

Rest assured, the operator is in the know. And fortunately, you know the operator.

Skip the line by taking the sunny Pa’rus (pah-roos) trail to the Human History Museum and board the shuttle there.

This is the only trail in Zion where biking or walking dogs is allowed.

While paved and pleasant to walk, it’s also 1.7 miles long, so it may not suit everyone. Follow the signs at the Visitor Center if this option appeals to you.

• Zion Human History Museum - Upon arrival at the Zion Human History Museum, head to the back patio to enjoy a highly-recommended ranger talk. Even if no talk is scheduled, the view of the Towers of The Virgin formation is truly breathtaking and worth the visit.
• Court of the Patriarchs - The next viewpoint is the Court of the Patriarchs formation. From left to right, visitors can see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the patriarchs of Judaism. Take a moment to step out and enjoy a better view.
• Emerald Pools - The first must-see trail is the Lower Emerald Pools. This 2-mile hike features water trickling from sandstone cliffs, sparkling hanging gardens, and bright emerald pools. This family-friendly trail is accessible across the street from the Zion Lodge.
• Angel’s Landing - Exit at The Grotto to begin the epic ascent to Angel’s Landing—a thrilling chain-assisted climb up a narrow precipice! At the top, earn both bragging rights and an incredible view. If the climb seems daunting, stop at Scout’s Lookout for an equally stunning vista. The round-trip to Angel’s Landing is about 5 miles. Although Angel’s Landing itself is only an extra half-mile each way, crowding and difficulty can add significant time.

Please note: Angel’s Landing now requires a permit. Permits are not included with park entry or tour purchase.

• The Great White Throne - Around 800 A.D., water began seeping through the layers of what is now called “Weeping Rock.”

For over 1,000 years, it percolated downward before encountering the impermeable Kayenta Formation.

Forced to move horizontally, the water diffused out of the soft limestone, eroding the formation as it went. Since this paved trail is a mere half-mile round trip, it is recommended to explore it.

• Temple of Sinawava Trail - The Temple of Sinawava is the final stop along the canyon, where you’ll disembark to undertake The Narrows.
• The Great Arch - When an arch is not freestanding, it is called a “blind arch.” Zion’s blind arch can be seen along the roadway or at several pullovers along its winding road.
• Canyon Overlook Trail - Canyon Overlook Trail is a short, 1-mile hike overlooking East Zion’s rugged landscape. It’s a great choice for those who want to enjoy a high-elevation viewpoint without a high-elevation climb. And the views? Absolutely stunning!
• Checkerboard Mesa - The Checkerboard Mesa features stunning criss-cross markings across its face—the result of years of expansion and weathering. From farther viewpoints, the checkerboard pattern becomes more apparent. Pull over on the left before passing the Ranger Station for the best view of this remarkable feature.
• East Entrance Ranger Station - Interested in exploring more of East Zion? At the Ranger Station, access several famous hiking trails, including Observation Point, the highest lookout in Zion.

The main trail, known as East Mesa Trail, branches into several other trails, including Observation Point—the highest lookout in Zion.

To see the remnants of the Cable Mountain Pulley system, East Rim Trail will be the starting point.

These trails are long and interconnected, so be sure to check the highlights or speak to the ranger for more information before setting out.
