Adventures are arranged by region so you can find convenient experiences in northwest, northeast, southeast, south-central, and southwest Utah. Within each region, you will find areas (including national parks, towns, and specific Dark Sky Places) with adventures listed for each area. I will highlight all the need-to- know details within each activity, complete with maps, difficulty, area details, pet considerations, supplies and gear to bring along, and more.
Fun Fact
The trail moves through a nice desert seep, a natural spring emerging from the rock. You can usually hear drops of water fall when it is quiet.
Full Moon Hike to Canyon Overlook
Easily one of the best views of Zion Canyon can be found at the Canyon Overlook. This short trail takes you to the 2,200-foot cliff edge, which looks out over the Mount Carmel Highway and the many switchbacks that guide vehicles down to the Virgin River valley. Beyond, you can see the Court of the Patriarchs.
