Guide to Visiting Zion National Park

"I tackled this nerve‑wracking five‑mile out‑and‑back hike despite my fear of heights and found the views worth the effort: begin at the Grotto Trailhead, climb Walter’s Wiggles to Scout Overlook, then grip chains as you traverse the narrow spine to the nearly 5,800‑foot summit; permits are required for the Scout Overlook-to‑summit section and can be obtained via a two‑month application or a day‑before lottery (we got lucky in the off‑season)." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.
