Important Update!
Hi Shaka Guiders,
I've got a quick update about trail access in Zion National Park. Right now, Hidden Canyon and Observation Point remain closed due to ongoing rockfall concerns. As of this writing, there is no confirmed reopening date.
I know that these hikes can be a high point for a lot of visitors (very literally, with Observation Point, it's the highest elevation viewpoint in the park!). But, for now, the area is just way too unstable. Rockfall is wildly unpredictable, and even small shifts in the landscape can create serious hazards.
That being said, Observation Point itself is still reachable. You can access it from the East Mesa Trailhead, located in East Zion, outside the main canyon. It’s a different hike—quieter, a little longer to get to, and with its own rugged access road—but it brings you up to the same breathtaking overlook above Zion Canyon.
If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend checking the official National Park Service website shortly before your trip--and even during. Snowfall, rockfall, floods... nearly every week it seems like one trail is closing, while another is reopening.
Conditions are constantly changing, and you'll want to be prepared and flexible enough to change your plans with them. And, trust me, I get it. It’s disappointing when a bucket-list viewpoint isn’t accessible, but safety always comes first. And you never know...a change of itinerary might just introduce you to your new favorite hike.
Thank you for always staying informed and safe.
Now, go out there and explore some canyons for me!
