We arrived there before 9AM, it still had lots of place to park. The trail is easy to hike... the overlook view point is amazing!!! It's about one hour round trip.

Very pretty walk along the river. Drive down was spectacular. Could be very crowded on busy days as the path is narrow.

As other reviewers have said, parking is limited, about ten spaces just east of the tunnel and a few more along the road. If you can park please go on this short hike. There are steps to climb at the start and a few drop offs along the way but nothing to worry about. The views at the overlook are... More

This is a nice short hike -- steep in a few places, but not too difficult. Some of the guides say it is beautiful at sunrise and sunset. It turns out that the view at the top is to the west, so it probably would be much better to go for sunrise than sunset like we did. Even so, the... More

This hike to Canyon Overlook is fairly easy and leads to absolutely beautiful views of part of Zion Canyon and the Zion - Mt Carmel Highway switchbacking up to leave the Canyon. There's a very modest elevation gain and the trail is easy to follow. At the Overlook, the main observation points are fenced (since there's an almost 1000 foot... More

A nice quick hike right out the east side of the Mt. Carmel tunnel. Sunrise would probably give you the best views for the shortest hike in the park if you wanted to get up early. But even at midday, the views of Pine Creek Canyon and the road to the tunnel are great. Parking is limited, so have a... More

We LOVED this short hike to a fabulous view of the Canyon from above. It was a pretty easy hike for anyone over the age of 7, though you should keep a close eye on young hikers. Hikers younger than 7 can probably do it with a little adult help and watched closely. I don't think most people would find... More

This is a very easy hike that is very rewarding. The hardest park is finding parking. There is a small lot across from the trailhead which allows for less than 10 cars. The overflow lot is across the street but also pretty small.

We walked it with our 4-yr old and really enjoyed it. I agree with other reviewers that it is scary at times and I had to carry my daughter on two-three occasions. But the view at end of it is worth every minute. The trail starts near the east end of the tunnel on Mt Carmel Hghwy - go early... More
