Sunset Canyon Ascent

Zion National Park

4.9★

The ultimate challenge for experienced hikers. Steep switchbacks lead to a narrow canyon ridge with jaw-dropping sunset views. Not for the faint of heart.

Hardest hike I've ever done. Also the most beautiful. My legs hate me but my soul is full.

Golden hour from the top is otherworldly. Bring a headlamp for the descent!
