Weeping Rock Trail

Weeping Rock Trail is a half mile trail in Zion National Park, Utah. It offers a moderately steep climb, despite being the shortest trail in the entire park. It can be done in one hour by hiking the short trail upwards. Trail conditions are also pleasant with paving. Wheelchairs and strollers can even make the climb. Weeping Rock Trail is one of the cooler hikes due to the amount of shade provided by the natural surroundings. The trailhead is best for spring to fall access, especially for those who want to cool off from the shade of the rocks.

It is called Weeping Rock Trail because of the waterfall. A waterfall literally makes its way through the rock in order to reach the creek below. Trail access is near Zion Canyon Visitors Center or Canyon Junction. Weeping Rock Trail is one of the most traveled pathways in the entire park. It is imperative to stay on the trail as leaving it can damage the sensitive ecosystem. Visitors should never go to the edge of the cliff since the rocks can be slippery. The trail tends to close in winter due to icy conditions, but this is based on the snow fall for the year.
