A really great look at 8 amazing trails within the park. You can tell how special this park is to you - a) with the amount you go there and b) that you've taken the time to hike so many of the trails and not just the 2 or 3 major ones. I think this will really someone plan their trip - seeing what they can expect on the trails!

Zion remains one of my “most looked forward to” National Parks (despite the fact that I’m looking forward to all of them)! Can’t wait to see what’s in store at this treasured park man! Btw, update on my brother and me, we have visited 7 National Parks (3 National Parks in depth) on our journey to all 62. I am grateful to see these videos bc it inspires me to continue on my journey with my brother, and also my dad and mom, my grandparents, hopefully I can interest my other brother and my sister, and bring along my soon to be future wife (planning to propose soon)! Hope all is well with you and your family. I want to not rush, but enjoy, every trip on this National Park journey and soak it in! Can’t wait for my next trip!

Hello America's Park's, I've been to Zion 4 times but I'm missing some of those trails on the list. The trails that I have been to are my favorite The Narrows, followed by Angels Landing and still to this day I don't know how I was able to conquer those chains, but I just kept going and that view was SPECTACULAR! Other trails I have been to are Emerald Pools and another favorite the Canyon Overlook Trail, but I have hiked the Narrows more than any other trail. Next time I'm there I will hike Kolob Canyon as I have heard great reviews from my clients( I'm a travel agent specializing in road travel ). I would also like to continue west to Great Basin National Park and drive the Loneliest highway in America Hwy 50 to Lake Tahoe and onto Yosemite, but that's next time I'm in Utah. Great video Randy!

The East Mesa Trailhead to Observation Point is absolutely incredible. The observation point trail in the park is closed, but if you drive some dirt roads along the East rim, you get to East Mesa Trailhead, which is about a 7 mile hike out and back to observation point.

Beautiful video/ we have done most of these hikes, i did the east rim trail down instead of angel's landing that one is too scary for me// Perfect timing as we may end up in zion next week and were wondering about the watchman trail because if we end up using our campsite in zion that is all we would have time for, looks like it is well worth checking out.// covid comedy, we have 10 nights campsites reserved for only 5 nights in utah depending on what opens or not. we pass thru Zion on our way east and depending on what is open either come home through Navajo and Grand, or stay in Zion on our way home.. crazy times, got to be prepared for anything.

That is wise living, my friend! The Watchman is a good choice in that the shuttle's not necessary. Have a super trip!

Awesome video Pastor Randy. Thanks for producing. Looks like my wife and I could tackle a couple of easier, shorter trails. I still have my sights set on Angel’s Landing- at least up to the chains.

Great, Gary! Up to the chains (Scout Lookout) is still a great hike with beautiful views!

@AmericasParks Жыл бұрын

Yeah, you should be fine with seeing many of them in two days. A permit is needed for Angels Landing and the Narrows is closed often due to water levels and bacteria. Here's another cool Zion hike: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p52qh9No09nPoqc.html

Nice video. I pretty much have only NOT done the Watchman hike, for the reasons noted, complete sun exposure. And most of them I've been fortunate enough to do several times. But most of them I did before I started my KZfaq channel, so I'm sure that some of them will get 3rd and 4th goes from me in the future!

Yeah, know the feeling all too well! Thankful, but would have been nice to start the channel earlier. Still, always enjoy return visits to the Parks! All the best!

Very cool Randy...The 1st trail is actually one I have been thinking about hitting to avoid crowds. New Mexico is still a go for October, but the restrictions seem to change there every other week so I have an alternate plan just in case. Still guessing as to which other sites you hit on this trip...looking forward to being surprised. Hoping some of them are " 1st time" visits for you.

Yeah, a few first-time visits in the BLM lands. Also some return trips, but poorly represented on the channel.

When we went for our honeymoon last November, we did angels landing, upper emeralds and river walk to the narrows. Those are good hikes. I wanted to do observation but will have to go back for that one.

Mary, thanks for heads up about closure of Kolob; probably won't get back this year but it's good to know in any event.

Thank you for the video! :) I’m not much of an experienced hiker, I’ve only hiked in Los Angeles. Would you say Angel’s Landing can be done by someone who is slightly above inexperienced? I’m also afraid of heights, but somehow always end up overcoming the fear and getting it done.

@AmericasParks 3 жыл бұрын

The nice thing about Angels Landing is you can go up to the chain section (90% of the hike and still a great hike/view) and turn around if you feel uncomfortable regarding the chains. The hike takes some effort, but overcoming the heights is the biggie imho. Be safe!
