About This Trail

Imported description
One of the many beautiful canyons in East Zion, and an access to several peaks and other challenging hikes. The restrooms at the Canyon Overlook are where you should start. Before you descend, make sure you note the canyon straight ahead, not following Pine Creek up to the left or under the bridge. The trail that winds around the dryfall is a faint one. It is easy to follow until you reach a cavernous dryfall. If you want to continue, you can go to the right and cross into Crawford Wash on the south side of the ridge.
