The
Springdale area is a hiker's paradise
as there are many trails of varying lengths
and difficulty levels showcasing the picturesque
scenery. Even if you aren't a hardcore
hiker, you will appreciate the chance
to see the impressive landmarks that make
Springdale and Zion National Park famous.
For instance, the Weeping Rock Trail in
Zion Canyon is an easy, half-mile hike
that leads to hanging gardens from a rock
alcove. The five-mile Angels Landing trail
offers more excitement along with a strenuous
climb with a 1,500 foot drop-off towards
the end.
People also come to Zion National Park
each year to hike in its famous narrows
- a truly untraditional hiking option.
Please note that you need good, sturdy
shoes as you will be hiking in creek beds.
Also be aware that these narrow canyons
are dangerous when it rains nearby because
of the threat of flash floods. Many companies
in Springdale rent and sell hiking equipment.
Please see our page about Zion
National Park for a more detailed
description of hiking in the park.
