00:00This hike has one of the best views in Zion National Park, and you don't need a permit or
00:03a full day hike to get it. In just 30 minutes, you'll reach a lookout that honestly rivals the
00:07views from Angel's Landing without a permit, the chains, or the dangerously huge drop-offs.
00:11This is the Canyon Overlook Trail in Zion. It's a short one-mile hike that winds along a narrow
00:15ledge with the massive canyon walls above you. There are railings when you need them, shaded
00:18alcoves, and beautiful views pretty much the entire way up. At the top, you're standing high
00:22above Zion Canyon with a wide open view of the switchbacks and stand zone cliffs that make this
00:26park so iconic. My only advice is to leave extra time for parking because this is a popular hike
00:31and the best time to go is at sunset, sunrise, or in the off-season to avoid the crowds. If
00:34you want
00:35a big payoff and a short amount of time in Zion National Park, then you need to add this short
00:38hike to your travel wish list.
