This is a great easy hike — some short parts can be considered more moderate — but well worth the views. It’s in a less crowded part of Zion which you don’t enter from the main entrance, so we almost had the entire place to ourselves! The altitude is high so you can be a bit breathless at some points… be sure to climb onto the high rocks and enjoy the view even more so!

We got a wonderful tip at our speaking engagement in Cedar City to make the stop here on our way back to Vegas. We are so grateful we did. Our journey didn’t have time for sightseeing, so it was just by chance we pulled off here thinking we’d no see much in just the brief time we had. What a wonderful side trip this was. Just think of all the people speeding by this temple of grandeur not knowing what’s just a couple of minutes away. The other Unilocalers’ pictures are wonderful but of course only suggest the incredible beauty of this very accessible place.

We often wanna go inside because you can see the«fingers» from the highway but always say we’ll go inside later when we come back from our travel. But this time the fingers were covered with snow so we made a u turn and it was the best u turn we ever did! The visitors area is very clean restroom is clean we have an annual pass to Zion so we we’re happy that we didn’t have to pay coz it’s part of Zion but less traveled. The kolob canyon was a winter wonderland! The place is a 5 mile scenic drive we stopped at every turn outs and lookouts eventhough it was 30 – 20 degrees outside with the windchill and were not dressed for the weather! We got beautiful pictures, we we’re so happy that we turned around and went to the canyons. We’ll definitely come back in Spring or fall to do the 12 – 15 mile hike to reach Kolob Arch!

The less traveled area of Zion National Park, I would be surprised if someone who isn’t familiar with the area would even know about kolob canyon. The best part about it, way less visitors and traffice through here than Zion’s main entrance. This entrance is located off I-15, just North of St. George, right before Cedar City. There are only a few trails in Kolob Canyon, I’ve done Kolob Arch, which was a 14.5 mile RT hike that takes you to the second longest arch in the world(it used to be the first). This was a great hike, parts of it run along the La Verkin Creek and there is tons of wildlife and wildflowers. The scenic drive is a considerably shorter than the main park, but the scenery is well worth with. The brilliant red sandstone makes for a perfect Instagram pic, no filter required. It’s worth a trip if you are seeking a hiking trails that are less traveled.
