Tucupit Point, in Kolob
Canyons, looms ahead of the hiker. Kolob Canyons is a part of Zion National Park
located on Interstate 15 near Cedar City. This part of the park is often confused
with the Kolob Terrace section near Virgin. Both Kolob areas are remote and far
from the main section of Zion National Park. |

Kolob Canyons
This remote section of Zion National Park is located northwest of the main
section of the park. Accessed off Interstate 15 (exit 40), about 90 minutes from
the south entrance of Zion National Park.
Timber Creek
Start this easy one-mile, round trip hike, at the Kolob Canyons picnic area.
It is a 100' ascent, following a ridge to a small peak. From the point, you can
see Timber Creek, Kolob Terrace and the Pine Valley Mountains past Saint George.
Middle
Fork of Taylor Creek
The Middle Fork of Taylor Creek Trail is a 5.4 mile round trip, ending at
a beautiful double arch alcove. There are a couple of historic cabins along the
way and a host of wildlife, including rattlesnakes! This is an easier hike, without
much elevation change.
North
Fork of Taylor Creek
The North Fork of Taylor Creek is an unmaintained trail in the Kolob Canyons
section of Zion National park. The route begins at the heavily traveled Middle
Fork of Taylor Creek Trailhead. The trail turns off at the confluence with the
North Fork and ends at the terminate of the canyon, between Horse Ranch Mountain
and Tucupit Point. A freestanding
arch, (Pico Rosado) is high on the cliff, toward the end of the trail.
South Fork of Taylor Creek
The 2 mile round trip to the South Fork of Taylor Creek, is an unmaintained
trail in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park. This trail does not
begin at the same trailhead as the other two forks of Taylor Creek, but begins
about 3 miles past the Kolob Canyons Visitor Center, on an unmarked path. The
trail leads into the canyon between Paria Point and Beatty Point.
Kolob Terrace and Kolob Canyons
FYI: There are two Kolob sections in Zion National Park; Kolob Canyons located
near Cedar City and the Kolob Terrace Road near Virgin.
