About
Offers arguably the best view in Zion National Park, looking down on Angel's Landing. It's a ~7-mile round trip hike with 700 ft elevation gain, requiring no shuttle or permit. It's considered moderately difficult, with a warning about a cliff at the end. The trailhead is outside the main park entrance, but the trail is inside.
Why go
- Arguably the best view in the entire park
- Offers panoramic zion canyon views
- Same epic views without the 2,000-foot climb
Must try
- Observation point via east mesa trail
Pro tips

- Use alltrails for the route
Good to know
- Cliff at the end, be careful
- Parking is very limited
- Low clearance car may not make it
