Aid Climbing Moonlight Buttress

According to the park, there is nothing at this spot, so not many people stop. If you do not like large crowds, this is the perfect place to stop. There is a small trail that leads to the river and a beautiful vista with the massive canyon walls on all sides. There are several areas in this part of the river that are great for swimming or fishing. The area also offers a good bit of shade in som...

Perfect to cool you off after the steep trek up to the rock! It's not quite a waterfall, but rather a massive rock that drips water as if it were crying. The trail is...

Angels Landing has long been one of my favorite Zion National Park hikes.  The hike is thrilling, extremely photogenic, and appeals to those who enjoy exchanging leg power for views. The hike to the top isn't long, 2+ miles, but you'll definitely feel the 1500 feet of gain! The trail features a mostly paved surface (to protect from erosion and high use), steep switch backs, a cool canyon, rock ...
