Duration: 15 minutes

The Subway

We’re now passing one of the most popular canyoneering locations of Zion: The Subway. The Subway requires a Wilderness Permit from the Zion lottery, so, in order to take The Subway, you really will need a ticket. You can take The Subway two ways: from the bottom-up or the top-down. The bottom-up is less technical, requires no canyoneering, and begins at the Left Fork trailhead on our right.

test name

Lava Point Overlook is a basalt cliff that overlooks a green volcanic valley filled with pinyon, juniper, and white pine trees. From the over 2,400-meter-high overlook, you can see all the way out to the Paunsaugunt Plateau of Bryce and even the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This viewpoint has no required hike, so as long as the weather is safe for us to travel, let’s continue on Kolob Terrace Road.

Duration: 15 minutes

Grafton Cemetary

Explore the most photographed ghost town in the West! This abandoned Mormon settlement still has several cabins, houses, and a town hall to explore.

Be sure to take lots of selfies and share them with us on social media!

Duration: 40 minutes

Grafton Ghost Town

Grafton is a ghost town with a somewhat unusual history. While the majority of 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 go inside a few.

Duration: 15 minutes

Zion Canyon Visitor Center

We made it to Zion Canyon! Here at our first park stop, take a moment to talk to the rangers, grab a map, use the restroom, and fill up your water bottles. If you need a wilderness permit, this is where you’ll pick one up. Be sure to check the schedule for any ranger talks or walks you might be interested in. There is also a bookstore and gift shop, but it’s probably best to save all that for after your hikes. When you’re ready, get in line for the shuttle (if it's shuttle season) and get ready for adventure!

Duration: 20 minutes

test name

Does the line for the park shuttle look a little daunting? Well, there is another option for those in the know. Rest assured, I am in the know. And lucky for you, you know me. You can 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 you can ride bikes or walk dogs. While it is both paved and pleasant to walk, it’s also 1.7 miles long, so it may not be suitable for everyone. Follow the signs at the Visitor Center if this sounds like a good option for you.

test name

If you pull into the Zion Human History Museum, you can make your way over to the back patio of the Human History Museum to enjoy a highly-recommended ranger talk. Even if you stop by when no talk is being held, the view of the Towers of The Virgin formation is truly amazing and well worth the visit.

Duration: 10 minutes

Court of the Patriarchs

Your next viewpoint is the Court of the Patriarchs formation. From left to right, visitors can find Abraham Isaac, and Jacob— the patriarchs of Judaism. Take a moment to hop out and get a better view.

Duration: 1 hour

Angel's Landing

Exit at The Grotto to begin your epic ascent up to Angel’s Landing—a thrilling chain-assisted climb up a narrow precipice! When you reach the top, you’ll earn both bragging rights and an incredible view. If you aren’t feeling up to the climb, simply stop at Scout’s Lookout for an equally stunning vista. If you go all the way up to Angel’s Landing it’s about 5-miles round-trip. Though Angel’s Landing itself is only an extra half-mile each way, crowding and difficulty can add a great deal of time. Please note: Angel's Landing now requires a permit. Permits are not included with entry to the park or purchase of the tour.

Duration: 2 hours

test name

Around 800 A.D., by rain or snow, water began working its way through the layers of what we now call “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, washing away the formation as it went. Since this paved trail is a mere half-mile round trip, I recommend we explore it.

Temple of Sinawava Trail

The Temple of Sinawava is the final stop along the canyon, and it’s here that you’ll disembark and undertake The Narrows.

test name

When an arch is not freestanding, we call that a “blind arch.” Zion's blind arch can be seen along the roadway, or at several pullovers along its serpentine road.

Duration: 10 minutes

Duration: 30 minutes

Checkerboard Mesa

The Checkerboard Mesa bears stunning criss-cross markings across its face—the result of years of expansion and weathering. At farther viewpoints, the checkerboard pattern becomes more obvious. Pull over on your left before passing the Ranger Station for the best view of this awesome feature.

Duration: 10 minutes

test name

Interested in exploring even more of East Zion? At the Ranger station, we’ll have access to several famous hiking trails including Observation Point, the highest lookout in Zion.

On the way back, we’ll stop at the other 7 viewpoints: Black Birch Canyon, Ponderosa Point, Agua Canyon Viewpoint, Natural Bridge Viewpoint, Farview Point, Piracy Point, and Swamp Canyon. From these viewpoints, you’ll not only see hoodoos but also other unique rock formations in brilliant colors, flora and fauna that make up the rest of Bryce Canyon. The Scenic Drive is a nature-lover’s dream!

Duration: 2 hours

Rainbow Point

Rainbow Point is actually the highest point in the park at 9,100 feet above sea level. You’ll be able to see most of Bryce Canyon from here, and on a clear day, you might be able to see all the way to the Grand Canyon, which is over 300 miles away!

At Farview Point, the air quality is so pure that you’ll be able to see clear into Arizona! Keep an eye out for the colorful rock formations and breathtaking views of the far-off Navajo Mountain.

Duration: 15 minutes

Piracy Point

Then take an enchanted walk through the path to Piracy Point, which is unofficially known as the Hansel and Gretel trail. Weave through sun-dappled Ponderosa and Bristlecone Pines, and keep an eye out for squirrels and songbirds! Once you get to Piracy Point, take a look into the distance and see if you can spot the cliff formation that looks just like Blackbeard’s ship!

Duration: 15 minutes

Swamp Canyon

Swing by Swamp Canyon and take a look at one of the only viewpoints in the park that has its own natural water source. Because of this, the vegetation is green and lush all around the hoodoo formations here. If you’re an experienced hiker, you may want to try out the Swamp Canyon Loop Trail here; it’s a 4.5-mile hike that descends into Swamp Canyon and connects to the Under-the-Rim Trail before looping back around. If you’re not prepared to take such a strenuous hike, hang out at the top of Swamp Canyon and keep an eye out for California Condors overhead.

Duration: 10 minutes

test name

The most-visited part of the park is the Bryce Amphitheater. There are 5 viewpoints that make up the Bryce Amphitheater: Sunrise, Sunset, Bryce, Inspiration Points and Paria View.

Duration: 15 minutes

Paria View

Paria View is a fantastic place to watch for Peregrine Falcons! Keep your eyes peeled for large birds that look like they’re wearing gray pajama pants. If you’re an active cross-country skier, Paria View is also home to the challenging Paria Loop, which is popular with winter sports enthusiasts and only open to visitors during snowfall (usually December-February).

Duration: 10 minutes

Inspiration Point

Inspiration Point is often called “The Silent City,” because the rows and rows of hoodoos look like people frozen in time. There are three smaller viewpoints at Inspiration Point; the lower, mid, and high points. You have to hike up a moderate but rocky incline to get to the highest point, but beautiful views can be seen from any of the points. Take a half hour or so to hike the easy-to-moderate Rim Trail that takes you to Sunset Point.

Duration: 10 minutes

Sunset Point

Some of the most iconic and photographed views are here at Sunset Point. Take a look out into the canyon and get another glimpse of the famous Thor’s Hammer and the rich reds and pinks of the iron oxide that gives the hoodoos their vibrant color. Sunset Point is the main trailhead of one of the most popular hikes at Bryce Canyon--the Navajo Loop Trail. This one is a quick 1.4 miles and is easy-to-moderate with a few slight elevation changes. This will follow some switchbacks down the canyon and into the hoodoos.

Duration: 10 minutes

Mossy Cave Trail

The last official stop on the tour, this is one of the most peaceful hikes at Bryce Canyon, but it’s technically outside of the park gates.

Duration: 45 minutes

Calico 1

It would be hard to pass this first stop in the Calico Hills without at least stepping foot on some of the vivid red rock. Although you could just park, get out of the car and take a few moments to enjoy the mind-blowing view and take some photos, you probably won’t be able to resist hiking at least a little of this moderate trail. It runs 2 - 6 miles from different start/end points, but just a taste of it will allow you to experience the beauty and shapes of these gorgeous rock formations up close.

Duration: 30 minutes

Calico Hills

Pull up and feast your eyes on this view! You’ll want to take even more photos of the Calico Hills from this angle, and you’ll find yourself seeing all kinds of different things in these intricate rock formations. If you’re lucky enough to get a parking spot in this small lot, you could also hike part of the same Calico Hills trail from here that you can access from Calico I, but with different vantage points of the glorious red rocks.

Duration: 5 minutes

test name

The most popular hiking trail in all of Red Rock Canyon begins from this location, which is the site of an old quarry operation. You can see the cuts in the mountain sandstone and a few of the slabs remain on-site. Look for rock climbers way up high (they are so far up that they almost blend in!) But the real reason this stop is so popular is because it’s the starting point of the Calico Tanks Trail. You may have to drive around the parking lot a few times until a space opens up, but it’s worth it to take at least part of this . moderate trail for the magnificent views.

Duration: 30 minutes

High Point Overlook

Duration: 5 minutes

Willow Spring

Just a quick turn off the Scenic Drive will bring you to a place you don’t want to miss: Willow Spring. There are two highly recommended hikes from this beautiful picnic area dwarfed by mountains. The Petroglyph Wall Trail is a short, easy .15 mile hike to a cliff side full of ancient art dating back over 800 years that only takes about 30 minutes round trip. The Willow Springs Loop is another easy trail (1.5 miles round-trip) that’s really great to take at least part of the way (it runs parallel to the parking lot, starting from the picnic tables) because often there are bighorn sheep watching you from the mountain ledges above! They blend in, though, so keep your eyes peeled! You’ll also pass by the largest of the ancient agave roasting pits. And, if you brought a picnic lunch and are hungry, enjoy this incredible view while you take a break.

Duration: 40 minutes

test name

In the same area as Willow Spring, enjoy the mountains from this vantage point as you try to spot the bighorn sheep. They love to hang out on the rocky cliffs but are good at blending in with the scenery!

There’s a variety of desert plant life to see here, too.

Duration: 5 minutes

Red Rock Canyon Overlook

This is a sweeping and serene overlook. Take it in. Breathe in the fresh air. Relax for a couple of minutes immersed in nature, as you listen to the wind blowing through the mountains or the unusual birds, including the western tanager, chirping in the Joshua Trees.

Duration: 5 minutes

Pine Creek Canyon Trail

Stop here for views of the open desert and monolithic canyon walls, along with some diverse plant life.

There is a moderate hike from here that leads past an old homestead site and into a meadow.

Duration: 5 minutes

You’ll be driving down a short gravel road to get here, but you don’t need a truck – regular cars can handle the bumpy road as long as you drive slowly.

Duration: 5 minutes
