Hiking Trail · Zion National Park · 10 tips and reviews
FamilyFun: The spring-fed pools on this easy hike really are a deep jewel green, thanks to moss and algae. Along the way, you'll pass through cool mists created by water tumbling over the canyon walls.
FamilyFun: You can rent bikes here and pedal the Pa'rus Trail, starting at the Visitor Center and running along the river. You'll see some of the park's highest peaks.
Visitor Center Rd (at Watchman Rd S), Springdale, UT
