hikinghappy:Canyon Overlook Trail, Zion National ParkRoundtrip length: 1 mileElevation gain: 163 feetHighest elevation: 5300 feetA family-friendly 1 mile round-trip trail to a gorgeous overlook. This was our first hike of Zion after arriving in the park, and what a way to start out! There are a few steep cliff edges but railings and a walkway provide security. We missed the parking area to the right directly after exiting the tunnel and had to walk up the road a bit, but there are plenty of pull-outs to find a spot. We enjoyed watching cars heading into the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel from the first ascent into the trail. The views expanded and the elevation slowly increased as we hiked on, and the overlook was a grand reveal after half a mile. Definitely recommend! -- source link
