Trail: This paved trail is located in Zion National Park, running
from Canyon Junction to the campgrounds. The trail is a 3.4 mile round trip,
following the Virgin River from Canyon Junction past the Zion Museum. The trail
continues past the South Campground, where the Nature Center and junior ranger
program are located, then continues to the Watchman Campground. This is a

The trailhead is a shuttle pick up and drop off and there is a small parking

water."
