1 Day Tour of Zion National Park Hiking

Itinerary:
Las Vegas → Zion Carmel Tunnel (via) → Zion Canyon Visitor Center (40 mins) → Zion National Park → Canyon Overlook Trail (90 mins) → Riverside Walk (40 mins) → Las Vegas

Located near the park's south entrance, the Zion Canyon Visitor Center is a great place to begin your exploration of Zion Canyon. Here you can learn about the history, geology, and wildlife of Zion National Park through official staff and interactive exhibitions. And you can also visit the bookstore to buy maps, books and gifts. At the same time, the scenery here is very beautiful, and you can enjoy the magnificent views of Zion's towering cliffs from the Zion Canyon Visitor Center.

This one-mile round-trip hike is moderately difficult due to some steep inclines and drop-offs, but is manageable for most able-bodied adults and well-behaved children. Follow the sandstone path through hidden caves and rock formations before reaching a stunning viewpoint. From here, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of towering red cliffs, deep canyons, and the lush valley floor. Perfect for capturing unforgettable photos!

The River Walk is a relaxing trail. It is paved throughout and suitable for most people. The trail runs along the Virgin River, and you can listen to the calming sound of the rushing water as you walk. The trail is covered with leaves, so when exploring in the fall, you can walk through amazing fall colors. On the other hand, when hiking in the spring, the River Walk allows you to see the flowers blooming in the canyon. On hot summer days, you can enjoy a refreshing ride across the Virgin River at the end of the River Walk. And in the winter, the canyon walls can keep you out of the wind and rain, making for a pleasant hike.
