If you want to hike topdown, take a shuttle to Lava Point. From there you can hike the West Rim Trail all the way down. Hiking from The Grotto is the hard way as you have to ascent a lot.

Zion National Park is one of the most amazing in the southwestern states. Here, you will find one of the most dangerous and exciting hikes: Angels Landing. Since it is very famous, start early to avoid the crowds. But there are also other stunning hikes. Try the West Rim Trail with some backcountry camping to find solitude. But don't forget your permit! If you want to do shorter, easy hikes, the Emerald Pools are for you.

In the summer months, cars are not allowed to drive into the canyon, but you can take the free shuttle to start and end your hikes.
