South Fork Taylor Creek Trail

Nice parking area with a bathroom right on the sharp bend in the road, you’ll cross the road to drop in to the trail. The trail is a bit of sandy climb as you work your way back into the canyon, steeper at the start, with a few hills scattered in later, but the final portion is much flatter. The towering walls are a nice distraction and you can gauge your completion based on how much they’re closing in. A nice hike for scenery and distance in the Kolob portion of Zion, would be fun for kids who’ve got some hiking stamina (due to the sand).

Kolob Arch

In the lesser traveled area of Zion National Park sits Kolob Arch, a sandstone arch high up on a cliff tucked back in the canyon. To get to Kolob Arch take exit 40 on I-15 in Utah. You'll see a Zion National Park Visitor's Center. Here you can fill up on water, use the bathroom, and get a map to the arch. From the visitor's center head up the only road in the canyon and follow it for a few mi...

Overview Starting at Lee Pass trailhead the trail descends down to run alongside the Timber Creek, past the open finger canyons of the nearby cliffs. At roughly mile 3 the trail will bend slowly to the left and climb up before descending again to run upstream and alongside La Verkin creek. Campsites 1-3 are before this point. The trail can be hard to follow when it gets down into the creek b...

Backpack the La Verkin Creek Trail

I've visited Zion National Park twice this year and the experience between the two visitations were like night and day. Zion National Park is by no means a secret, and for good reason. Hikes such as Angels Landing, and the Narrows are locations which are sought after by every outdoorsman and novice alike! With 8 million visitors annually and counting, being bumped off Angels Landing Cliffs by a...

Middle Fork Taylor Creek in Kolob Canyon

The Taylor Creek trailhead sits in the little-explored part of Zion National Park known as Kolob Canyon just south of Cedar City. The trail starts at around 6,000 feet and then drops a little lower in to the canyon and runs along Taylor Creek. With 450 feet of elevation change along the five-mile roundtrip trail, this is a great outing for those just getting into trail running. The trail isn't ...

Hike to the Timber Creek Overlook in Kolob Canyon

The Timber Creek Overlook trail is located at the end of the Kolob Canyon drive in Zion National Park. This hike is very family friendly and offers restrooms, picnic tables, and a well maintained trail. Bring your camera and hike the trail around sunset to get beautiful sunset shots of the valley and to see the massive sandstone walls of Kolob Canyon glow in the warm light. Take advantage of ...
