Zion Canyon

This two-hour roundtrip begins at a trailhead just north of the Zion Canyon Visitor Center and leads to a plateau near the base of The Watchman, a craggy wall that looms over the canyon. You can linger over the views of West Temple, the Towers of the Virgin, and the town of Springdale from the plateau before heading back down to the trailhead.
