East Mesa Trail
Took youth group on hike to Observation Point in 100+ degree heat. Several of them ran out of water, but fortunately I brought extra.
The views looking down on Zion Canyon and Angels Landing were quite impressive.

Long and Easy
Did this with my wife and absolutely loved it. Got to see some bighorn sheep through some binoculars, as well. Rained a bit at the top but didn't last long. Long but easy hike.

Well worth the hike up.

Best Views of Zion Canyon
Beautiful hike with amazing vistas. Saw a couple desert bighorns on a steep precipice close to the trail switchbacks. Out-of-staters were blown away.

Nice easy morning hike
Great morning hike, beautiful watching the sun rise over the canyon and fantastic, clear views at the top. Round trip took just under 2.5 hours.

Near perfect hike
It's got it all. Precipitous drops, beautiful slot canyons, sweeping panoramic views. Perfect weather today.

trail is way cool
the trail via echo canyon and up the switch backs is a testament to park service and the folks who cut and maintain.

Observation Point
Did this trail late in the day to try and get shots at Golden Hour. Great hike. Views of Zion Canyon are unreal. Worth it. Enjoy the slot canyons about halfway up.

Not very Angelic.
I vetoed Angel's Landing (THOUSAND FOOT DROP OFFS, GUYS), so this was my first Utah adventure. It hurt my poor, sea-level lungs. I dangled my feet off the ledge as I ate the M&Ms that my friend picked out of his trail mix. It was so perfect!

I can see clearly now!
The view is spectacular from the top! The area in Echo canyon is scrum didily umptious! I am just going to put it out there, this hike is fantastic! However if you had to pick between this and Angels Landing, pick the Angel. If you fear heights, go for Observation.

Zion in SummerA great hike, but if climbing in summer, better to start in the mornings or late afternoon as the heat starts to die down.
