| TRAIL INFORMATION & PHOTOS: |
Description:
Weeping Rock is a short 10-minute walk to a lovely seeping alcove with beautiful hanging gardens and light sprinkling waterfalls. This is a perfect little spot for both young and old and is a must-do if this is your first trip to Zion. The short walk starts at the Weeping Rock Trailhead; once off the shuttlebus, walk up to the parking lot, then follow the trail as it crosses the little hikers bridge and turns left.
Soon enough you will be standing under the beautiful alcove with the wonderful water sprinkling on your head. As easy as the paved trail is, elderly must take care as it is steep and slippery in sections. Note: The Weeping Rock Trailhead is also the starting point for the longer Observation Point and Hidden Canyon trails.
