About this program
Embark on a journey through the wonders of Zion Canyon! Hike alongside a ranger on the moderate Watchman Trail and immerse yourself in the beautiful resources Zion has to offer. Along the way you may explore topics of geology, wildlife, plants, human history, and so much more.
This program requires free, advance, in-person-only registration at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center information desk. Make sure to reserve your spot up to 3 days in advance. Sign-ups are limited to 6 people per individual group. You may not reserve more than 6 spots per group per day.
You’ll ascend an elevation change of 368 ft (112 m) on a rocky, uneven trail with moderate drop-offs along the way. The overlook at the end offers expansive views of lower Zion Canyon with high drop-offs and no guard rails. For accessibility information, visit our Trail Access Information page.
