Thanks to the hidden creeks, lush foliage, and sky-splitting red cliffs that adorn its landscapes, Zion National Park is known as Utah’s hiking and backpacking mecca. Carved out by erosion over countless millennia, the park hosts over 100 spectacular hiking trails, ranging from family-friendly ridgeline strolls to upstream trudges through picturesque river basins. Whether you’re traversing the slippery river rocks of the Zion Narrows or trekking stunning alcoves overlooking the Emerald Pools, the hikes here never disappoint. Couple that with some of the greatest natural backdrops in the Western US, and it’s easy to see why Zion is a synonym for adventure.
