Zion National Park
Small hikes available, you have to go to the end of the canyon. Emerad pools is a nice hike too.
Eastern Overlook
- 17.39 km
- ↗ 501 m
Back and forth, possible to change to go to cable car mountain instead. The overlook is a must to appreciate the sheer verticality of Zion Canyon.
Angel’s Landing
- 6.47 km
- ↗ 600 m
(Don’t forget to book) Not as hard as it looks, avoid if you can suffer from vertigo (instead of going for Angel’s Landing, continue hiking to a another cool viewpoint). Beware of the chipmunks!
Near Bryce Canynon
Red Canyon (Dixie National Forest)
- 7.94 km
- ↗ 340 m
The reddest! Vastly different light between dawn and dusk, do both!
Mossy Cave Arch
- 1.49 km
- ↗ 48 m
Warm up before kodachrome. Cool canal (frozen that day) and its history is something.
Kodachrome State Park
- 8.95 km
- ↗ 209 m
Many biomes, great rock formations, incredible colors!
Bryce Canyon National Park
If you can go late autumn, right before winter, you’ll get a chance to have the red/white combo.
Boat Messa
- 12.70 km
- ↗ 501 m
Just great (same for every hike in Bryce Canyon :)
Queen Victoria - Wallstreet
- 5.96 km
- ↗ 198 m
Easy and beautiful.
