Observation Point, Zion National Park, Utah, USA
The spectacular hike from the Weeping Rock Trailhead to Observation Point is a Zion all time classic and the viewpoint at the end of the trail is an iconic image of Zion National Park.
The Observation Point Trail is a strenuous 8-mile (round trip) hike that could take between 4 to 6 hours and involves a lot of unrelenting uphill on a hard paved trail that was blasted out of the canyon walls. Along the way, hikers get a glimpse into the dark and mysterious Echo Canyon with its beautiful slickrock formations and stunning White Cliffs. While this hike isn’t as exposed or fear-inducing as Angels Landing, with an elevation gain of over 2,100 feet, Observation Point is a more strenuous workout!
