Ranger-curated one-day highlights itinerary for Zion National Park.
Itinerary
Ranger-curated loop with about 1.2 hours of driving between stops. Start early for the best light and parking.
Hike Angels Landing
On and after April 1, 2022 hikers continuing to Angels Landing from Scout Lookout are required to have a permit, obtained on recreation.gov.
Start early and bring water; trails can fill up by mid-morning.
Wade The Narrows
The Narrows is a strenuous hike that follows the Virgin River through a narrow slot canyon. After 1 mile (0.6 km) on the easy, paved Riverside Walk, head down a set of stairs and into the river. The rest of your hike will take place in the Virgin River, where the flow rate can change day by day and the streambed is rocky with unstable footing. Flash flooding and hypothermia are constant dangers.
Allow about 35 minutes of driving from the previous stop.
Drive the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive
Long drop-offs, mostly fenced. Rocky and uneven trail ends at a viewpoint for Pine Creek Canyon and lower Zion Canyon. To enter or exit the parking area just east of the tunnel, you must turn right. Parking is extremely limited, be prepared to try multiple times. Pit toilets are available in the parking area.
Allow about 35 minutes of driving from the previous stop.
Pause at pullouts for quick views and short walks.
