Tips

The Watchman Trail, starting at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center, climbs 368 feet (112 meters) to the stunning Watchman Overlook. Here hikers can overlook the Watchman, Temples and Towers, lower Zion Canyon, and the town of Springdale. This viewpoint can get busy, so it's nice to get an early start. Restrooms and water filling stations are available at the Visitor Center, and bikes are not allowed on the trail.
