Observation Point
[Suggest Edits]
Description
While most folks will be ascending the steep ledges to Angel's Landing, you can view them from across the valley at Observation Point. Without a doubt, this is one of the best viewpoints in Zion. From this vista, you'll have clear views of Angel's Landing to the southwest while the Great White Throne will be in sight due south.
Half-Day Hike: Follow the Observation Point hike from the Weeping Rock TH.
