Observation Point Hike

Zion National Park, Utah

Here are 12 photos from my hike to Observation Point in Utah's Zion National Park on April 11. The hike goes from the floor of Zion Canyon to the top via the East Rim Trail. It's 8.0 miles (12.9 km) round trip with an elevation gain of 2,148 feet (655 meters).
