What people say

"The Canyon Overlook trail isn't super challenging, at only 1-mile out-and-back and just under 200-feet of elevation gain, but it is a trail I always make a point of doing when I visit Zion. It is a great hike to do for sunrise, or mid-day with a picnic. At the summit you'll have stunning views of some iconic sites in Zion including The West Temple, Towers of the Virgins, Streaked Wall, and Beehives. The East Temple rises directly above the overlook, towering more than 2,200 ft above the canyon floor. The Great Arch lies recessed into the cliff-face below the overlook. This trailhead is not a stop on the Zion Shuttle, so you'll need to get to it via your private vehicle. There is a very small parking lot directly across the street that you can park in, or you can find a spot in the overflow lot down the road. "

"Today you are saying goodbye to Zion National Park, but not before one of the best sunrise hikes in the park! The Canyon Overlook Trail is one of our favorites because it's short with a huge view at the end, making it an ideal choice for early mornings. Plus, the parking area for this hike is fairly small so it helps to get in super early anyway.  Note that this trailhead is NOT in Zion Canyon, so the shuttle system does not run here. Instead, you should plan to self-drive your own vehicle.  https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/canyon-overlook-trail"
