If Angel`s Landing is a little to hairy for you or you`d like to try a similar trail - Hidden Canyon is just the hike. It`s about 2 miles in length (round trip) and ascends about 850 feet. The hike is still strenuous (about half the trail is paved, then dirt). The last several hundred yards are again on sloped... More

Probably not a hike for small children, this has chains for part of the hike and some spectacular drop-offs. It is not too strenuous, although it took a couple of hours. It's worth the effort to do it, though! More

Our younger kids who didn't do Angel's Landing got to enjoy this one. There were chains along the higher ledges but with the well maintained trail it wasn't too frightening. It was a strenuous climb but with a few stops to rest we all made it up. The kids really enjoyed the rock scrambling at the top and once you... More

A great side canyon off of East rim trail always cool and shady even in the heat of summer. Access shortest from weeping rock trailhead, via a steep uphill climb with switchbacks. A very popular hike. More

My husband and I hiked to Hidden Canyon on our last-half day in Zion. It was an overcast day, with cool temperatures. It is an excellent workout for a short hike. I wish I had done this hike before I did Angel's Landing. Hidden Canyon's short chain section would have better prepared my for the longer and scary chains of... More

This hike has some nice views but it's not the nicest in the park. If you have a fear of heights, I'd avoid the last half of the hike. More

Have climbed them all but really love this one. to really enjoy it, you need to head a few miles up the canyon where most people stop. Great slot canyon with some scrambling. Really had a great time with my sons on this one. Loved this one a bit more than angles... More

This is a great hike and not nearly as crowded as Emerald Pools or Angel's Landing. Since it is on the other side of the valley it gets more shade on hot summer days and at the top of the trail there is a little slot canyon that is very cool (temperature). Does have some ledge like trail areas (like... More

A truely A-MAZ-ING hike! We had just completed the Observation Point hike and were on our way back where you reach a junction to either return to the bus park or to Hidden Canyon. We decided as we had climbed to this point it was worthwhile to take the fork to Hidden Canyon. It was worth it! A great, fun... More
