    Hiking

    Perfect view on the pointy stone formation known as the "Watchman."

    Hiking

    Best in the morning when a lot of the Zion Canyon still is in the shades and the sun enlightens the Watchman's Peak. Also no crowds in the morning of course :)

    Running

    This majestic lookout spot on a stone formation provides an iconic view of Zion. Come early to get the best view and fewer crowds!

    As far as running goes, please note that running is generally not encouraged at Zion National park due to how busy and populated it is.
