Best trails in Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a unique landscape of high cliffs, narrow canyons, and beautiful views. The park has many famous hikes. Angels Landing is an intense switchback trail with a truly spectacular view from atop of the canyon. Another famous hike is the unique Narrows "trail" which is a very long trek through a river nestled between a sheer canyon. Other notable trails include the East Rim Trail to the park's highest point, the slot canyon Subway Trail , and the family friendly, but equally beautiful Kayenta Trail. There is also the paved Emerald Pools trail and the more challenging backpacking West Rim Trail. Please note that several of the hikes in this park require permits.
