How have I been to Zion National Park more times than I can count in the past thirty-one years and not walked this trail before? Weird. Anyway, I love the short trail by the tunnel (Zion Canyon Overlook?), but the River Walk may have passed it and become my favorite hike in Zion. For me, the River Walk is the perfect hike. It's not painful. It's a pleasant walk, but you can get some exercise on it. It's great for children---not too hard, great places to play by the river. Lastly, it's utterly beautiful.
