Spring Hollow - Greater Zion Area
This is a charming, but short, hollow located on the east side of Zion National Park. Although always a nice hike, when the intermittent double waterfall at the trails end is running it become a hike that will leave quite an impression. Some simple bouldering is required. There are petroglyphs and rock art from the 1880s in this little treasure.

Spring Hollow
Glendale is on
the east side of Zion National Park and the entrance to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Pull over near mile marker 89. There is a white
farm house across the highway from the hollow and a barn to the north. There
are horses in the field so do not open the gate. Its easy to squeeze through
where the gate latches.
Spring Hollow Beta
The slot is easy to spot. Hike towards it and drop down into
the the creek bed. Follow the creek to the end of the canyon. At the end, turn
around and go back the way entered.
Best Trail Features
Although the walk is charming, its the little things that make
it special. The historical rock art is fun to see, but be warned, its mixed
with modern day graffiti.
Glendale History
Glendale's Population: 355
The scenic little town was incorporated on March 29th, 1935. It was named Glendale
because of the particularly beautiful area, enhanced by the Virgin River running
along its length.
