This easy paved trail along the North Fork of the Virgin River in Zion Canyon may be the most popular walk in the park. Springs and seeps in the canyon walls support hanging gardens and attract abundant bird life. From the Temple of Sinawava shuttle stop at the end of the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, the trail winds up the canyon to its end in two miles round-trip; the elevation gain is just 57 feet. The path is wheelchair accessible. Beyond this point, Zion Canyon is too narrow for a trail, but well-prepared hikers can wade upstream if flow and weather conditions allow.

Active and AdventureExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Trailside exhibits interpret the natural world.
  • Springs and seeps occur where water in the porous Navajo Sandstone meets the less permeable Kayenta Formation below.
  • Photographers often find the best light in late morning. Cottonwoods and maples provide splashes of color in autumn.
