Watchman Trail

A moderate hiking trail in the Zion National Park. You can easily find the standpost that showed you where to begin the hike, takes roughly 45-50 mins to hike up the hill and you get to be the Watchman, over-see the valley underneath you. This trail offers you a bitter-sweet experience, have to keep hiking uphill with similar view... However once you reach the lookout, the the whole hiking worths it. Coming down from the same path might seems to be easier however with the pebbly and sandy path, you may still have to be careful in where you step. Just look out carefully and this could easily be done with a whole family.

This was an excellent introductory hike into Zion National Park. We took about 1.5-2 hours as our first hike on a rainy day and felt great walking up into the clouds! It is a moderate level hike, but we took our time getting up to the top. If you are headed to Zion, this hike was not too busy and I would definitely recommend.

Such an amazing hike! It’s a bit challenging but the views from the top are amazing! Highly recommend.

Moderate trail. Nice views
