Hidden Canyon

The rise of the hidden canyon exceeded our expectations. Hiking is very interesting because the driveway clings to the cliffs and picturesque valleys for you to explore.

This height part is similar to “Angel Landing”, with a rotor stimulation track and a chain to help you maintain balance. The boardwalk did not climb high, nor did it have a landscape like Angel Landing, but the hidden canyon also attracted fewer tourists, which made it less crowded and pleasant.

Important note: Due to the damage caused by the collapse of the rock, the hidden Canyon Road is currently closed. Get test status updates on the Zion National Park website.

Zion Narrows Hike

For many hikers, Narrows is a wish list. This is the ideal height of the valley opening. This is a challenge, its beauty is breathtaking, and this is a very memorable experience.

You can walk along Zion Narrows along with the fast pace of the day and then go up from the bottom. You only need to walk in the opposite direction to the direction you are going, and you can turn around when you start to get tired. Or, whether it is a long and difficult one-day trip or a return trip two days later, it is necessary to take a full stroll on both sides of the strait. Whatever you choose, this is an adventure!

In the spring, the narrow canyon was closed due to melting snow, which caused a large amount of water to flow into the river. If you want to go up and down, you need a permit.
