Description

Considered one of the most beautiful national parks in Utah (there are three others), if not the entire western United States, Zion National Park is an ideal hiking destination.

Making the challenging but rewarding hike up up to Observation Point is one of the best ways to see this stunningly scenic canyon.

The trail starts out simply but challengingly with a climb up numerous switchbacks, which were blasted out of the canyon wall.

About half-way up the switchbacks, you will veer left toward Observation Point and get some incredible views out over the river, canyon floor and toward Angel’s Landing.

Eventually, you will reach the crest of a small ridge line, stop climbing and begin to wind through a series of narrow canyons.

You will continue hiking through the canyons until you come out to the other end and begin climbing more switchbacks. After a bit more of this, you reach the top of the canyon walls and get a good look out over the surrounding plains.

From here, you will hike along the edge for awhile until you reach the cirque that is Observation Point. Take some time to enjoy the stunning view and rest a bit before returning to the canyon floor.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible one-day hike to Observation Point in stunningly scenic Zion Canyon National Park!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our 1-day hike to Angels Landing, also in Zion National Park in Utah!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
