    Mountaineering

    the view is mega. The hard climb is worthwhile. True 2012 on angels landing but the observation point is better and no mass tourism

    Hiking

    Great views and better/further than from Angels Landing. The Hidden Canyon Trail and East Rim Trail within Zion NP are closed (long-term closure due to a major rockfall, September 2023). No one knows for how long as you wait for the next rockfall. The East Mesa Trail to Observation Point is open year-round. Due to the dirt road to the trailhead, Ponderosa Ranch Cabins offers a shuttle service. It's best to bring a rain jacket. Even when the weather looks good, there are often short rain showers. I experienced this on several days in Zion National Park.
