North Guardian Angel

Utah

About

North Guardian Angel is a summit of 7,399 feet in the Zion Wilderness, part of Zion National Park in Utah, managed by the National Park Service. The nearest town is Springdale, about 10 miles away. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cedar City show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, with lows in the 40s. That station sits roughly 900 feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The closest trail is the Northgate Peaks Trail, about half a mile away. Wildcat Canyon Trail and the Connector Trail are each about 1.6 miles off, and Watchman Campground is about 9 miles away for an overnight base.
