Observation Point of Zion National Park
The trail starts at the Weeping Rock shuttle stop. If you are taking this trail in summer, it's better to start early in the morning, before 9 a.m., to be able to make the first part of the trail while it is shaded from the sun. About two hundred feet higher, the trip splits in two: the trail to the right would take you to the Hidden Canyon; to reach the Observation Point you need to take the left trail.

Having passed the Echo Canyon, the trail goes up to the Observation Point, making quite a few switchbacks on the way.
