In Zion Canyon, we spent three days and did several hikes.

The River walk was a short hike towards the entrance of the Narrows.

The Angels Landing was an impressive hike to the top of a steep ridge. In the last 0.5 mile, you need to go along the chains. This is not actually dangerous, but may give you some dizziness if you glance below. It feels like you are very exposed, because the ridge is steep and rather narrow, so you can see deep vertical falls on both sides.  The view from the top is amazing and overall feeling is spectacular.

The Observation Point was the longest (10 miles round) and the most beautiful hike. It goes from the Weeping Rock trailhead, and gives you a little bit of everything from spectacular Zion scenery – icy slot Echo canyon, high vertical walls of surrounding mountains, East Rim Mesa with the pine forest covered with the snow, beautiful red and white mountains, and the bird-eye view towards Zion Canyon from the top of the Observation point.
