Zion Hiking FAQ

What is the easiest hike in Zion National Park?

Short, flat, kid-friendly trails like the Pa'rus Trail and Riverside Walk are the easiest options. Use the picker above with young kids in your group to see the gentlest hikes that fit, with full trail details.

What is the best Zion hike for families with young kids?

Look for trails rated easy, marked kid-friendly, under ~2 miles, with little elevation gain and no permit. The Hike Picker filters to exactly those when you add young kids to your group.

What is the hardest hike in Zion?

Angels Landing is the marquee strenuous hike — about 5.4 miles round trip with ~1,488 ft of gain, steep exposure, and a year-round permit (lottery). Only include it if your group is fit and comfortable with heights.

Which Zion hikes require a permit?

Angels Landing requires a permit year-round via a Recreation.gov lottery ($6 application + $3 per person if awarded). The picker flags any suggested hike that needs a permit.
