West Rim Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you want to hike topdown, take a shuttle to Lava Point. From there you can hike the West Rim Trail all the way down. Hiking from The Grotto is the hard way as you have to ascent a lot.

Scout Lookout – West Rim Trail, Zion National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path to get there is steep in places and very winding, but wide and completely paved with concrete. And in the season it is very busy with tourists.

West Rim Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Instead of taking the tourist-crowded last trail to Angels Landing, it's better to turn left at Scout Lookout and walk the West Rim Trail. Here you hardly meet a soul.
