Canyon Overlook Trail
Directions

Located just east of the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel, the Canyon Overlook Trail is a popular one-mile out-and-back trail in Zion National Park. The route traverses rocky paths, shaded alcoves, and railed cliffside ledges before culminating at a spectacular viewpoint. Hikers are rewarded with sweeping panoramic vistas of Pine Creek Canyon and the main Zion Canyon with minimal physical exertion.

Quick tip: Parking near the trailhead is extremely limited, so aim to arrive early in the morning or near sunset to secure a spot.
