How to Hike to Observation Point in Zion (Without Taking the Shuttle)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2021
- Did you know you can reach Zion's most famous view WITHOUT taking a shuttle or attempting the strenuous (and now closed) Observation Point Trail Hike?
The East Mesa Trail is a shortcut that sneaks you into Zion National Park's backdoor, allowing you to access its most beautiful overlook with fewer miles, and without having to pay an entrance fee. This video covers how to get there and what to expect!
The parking area is at the intersection of Fir Road and Beaver road in Carmel Utah, with GPS Coordinates 37.290816523920014, -112.89472907003797.

😃 Thank you for the relaxing tour 😊 Nice to watch the video. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Have a wonderful day ☺️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
What a beautiful place, Zion is amazing. Thanks for sharing and really enjoyed watching.
This is a great tip. Hoping to get to Zion National Park next year. We will remember this trail. Thanks for sharing!
I agree that drive through Zion is absolutely amazing! Wow those are crazy ruts on that dirt road. I appreciate the tips!!
Zion is an amazing place! Thanks for the helpful information to an amazing view.
Love Zions! I live in Utah and am amazed how much diverse beauty Utah offers. Love showing that beauty off. Appreciated the alternate hike, view, and vantage you shared. I'm taking that next time I'm there! Happy day! :)
Yet it never ceases to amaze me how incredible that National Park is, it is utterly beautiful! And so wonderfully captured from you my friend 😁🙌🏻
Absolutely beautiful. Zion is our favorite national park! Thanks for the hiking tip! We want to go back when it isn't quite so hot out.
Great tour. Thanks my friend. Have a nice day!
Great info to avoid the masses of people and the shuttle system. I'vee done the observation trail but not the East rim trail. You are right about the views. Fantastic. I'll do the East rim trail next time we go through. As we are local we get down that way a few times a year. Great video. Take care.
Thanks great detail and info well done
All the best friends keep up the awesome work 👍👍👍
What a breathtakingly beautiful place, and amazing video guys. Thank you...
Another beautiful video… amazing 👍🏻
WOW! That is a cool and amazing hike. The view is fantastic and relaxing.
Well done dear. Stay safe, healthy and have a blessed weekend.
What a beautiful place there. Your edits are so buttery smooth!!!! You do a great job explaining all the tips!!! Whoa, those drone shots is so good!!!!!
Oh... Zion park !! I just passed through this park... nearly 30 years ago when I was young..
Anyway, traveling 4 western states was so wonderful ... I like the great awesome nature there... Thank you 👍👍👍
I have been on the east entrance drive and you are right, it is gorgeous! I did not know about the East Mesa Trail. Thanks for the great tip!
This national park is so beautiful 💛🥰 Thank you for this hiking tip. Next time I travel there, I will love to try this trail.
You have a great channel, subscribed to it. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭😀
Beautiful filming! Thanks for the tour! New subscriber! 😊
Bro this looks fun to visit, beautiful sceneries! This feels like I have traveled there, your voice is very clear.have a great week you all 🤗
Well done & helpful video on how to hike Observation Point Trail! Enjoyed the narration & videography throughout! We had the opportunity to visit Zion, but didn't get a chance to do this hike. Looks like a great one! Perfect place to have lunch! Stunning views! 👍
I guess that's a reason to go back at some point! That's awesome you've made it out to Zion, how recently were you there?
That's absolutely the true hiking up the trail head, all the views there looks like where they having a documentary film, lovely hot weather, hope you have a lot of fun guys, thanks for sharing this beautiful hiking of you all .
This is GREAT information! We haven’t been to Zion yet, but we’ll definitely put this video & info to use when the time comes! The views are just spectacular, and that’s an awesome picnic spot, too!

👌👌👌👌👌
Well done video! will keep it in mind when we goto Zion!
Hi new friends! Just subbed 😉
We love Zion... Southern Utah is gorgeous! My son lives near Salt Lake City. I was fascinated to listen to how you say Zion. It sounded like you said it one way at the beginning and then changed. I have always heard Utahns pronounce it with the accent on the first syllable, but people who visit from out of state usually put the accent on the second syllable. I’m a nerd 🤓
The word is definitely out and like the other trails, will be overrun soon enough. You guys are lucky to hit it now. (And this is coming from someone who discovered Zion back in 1996, when you could randomly stop anyone anywhere and ask where Zion NP is and they would look at you like you had two heads.)
Wonderful video! Thank you😊
We are watching your video and enjoying it a lot…..it is excellent……a big "WOW" for your fantastic presentation……keep going on, dear friend……we are sending all our support to you…...lots of love, support and good wishes for your future program….wish you a very happy n prosperous journey ahead…..stay connected.....stay safe......
Such a lovely and relaxing place. The views are stunning. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video.😊 Have a nice day. Take care. New subscriber here from the Philippines🇵🇭
Nice Informative video my friend!! Would definitely watch this again when I visit Zion again !! :)
Awesome video with great info!
Awesome vid guys 👍🏼
Never knew about this way to get to the trail head to Observation point. We are planning to go back to Zion and hike this! Great vid guys!
Wow that's so wonderful, a super job, best regards Up'n'Down-Traveling
Wow the views 😃 Learned something new today, didn't know about this trail 👍
THANK YOU !!!!! I am traveling solo. This helps a ton.
Woooo have the best time!! 😊 So glad it helped!
Hello my friend. 😍 💖 Awesome, thank you for Sharing. 😎 Have a nice weekend. 😃🌺
New subscriber! Those views are incredible! Great video my friend!
Thanks so much! We really appreciate it!
Love Zion National Park! Great information because we know how busy this parks gets, thank you! #208 ;-)
Observation Point looks like a great place to, well...OBSERVE the area! This is a great guide and tip, I'll be sure to do this if I ever go out to Zion.
The views were insane - period! It sure looked windy there but I could cope with that for the views that each point gave you, just jaw dropping, cheers Alan
beautiful area. beautiful video !
Zion looks amazing and that trail showcases it perfectly. I actually drove through the park in 2006, really regret not stopping for a hike or two.
Ahh, theres always time to head back! That's what's great about the National Parks, as long as we take care of them, they hopefully should be there to visit again! What brought you to that part of the country Matt?
Zion National Park looks amazing! Utah is on my list of places I must visit!
This is awesome, ill be doing some workouts in Sedona in a few weeks. I think Zion is only about 6 hours north from there. Not sure if ill have the time but I really wanna check this out. Thank for the information, this is really cool. Looking forward to more videos from you guys!
Beautiful place! Thank you for sharing!!
Yes Grace! Such a beautiful region of the USA!
I watched all your videos and I find your channel very attracting. It makes me come back for more. Thanks for your sharing, please keep posting👍👍 LIKE 😍 new friend here
We did Angels Landing in the morning and Observation Point in the afternoon. Very cool to look down on Angels Landing after being up there that morning. And the trail from the East Mesa Trailhead is beautiful and relaxing.
Wow that's amazing.
The views of the national park are amazing. I did not expect to see sand on the trail. It is a unique landscape.
Great vlogging 👍👌
View from the top is amazing 💖💖💖
So much impressed after watching the best place
Wow so cool, i like this place because this here so beautiful
Thanks! Isn't it a neat trail? Such a pretty part of the country!
Very beautiful
In planning to visit soon, I learned the shuttles aren't running due to mud. I found this video, but google street view of these coordinates you gave shows signs that say no parking/vehicles will be towed. Plus, there are now large stones surrounding the lot area. The search continues! Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the tips. I’m so wanting to hike Angels.
So freaking beautiful out there
Really cool video 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes Angels Landing looks like a crazy hike! We opted for this Observation Point hike because the views were similar (if not better) but without many of the intense edge walking! Both seem amazing though!
@@SharingtheRoad I’d love to hike both of them!! Thanks again for the tips. It a bucket list area for me 😁
I like the analogy "phone flying out of your hand windy" lol. It looks like a beautiful area. We have yet to do a Utah trip. But we plan to at some point.
Haha it really was windy! We'd 100% recommend Utah, it has such beautiful and interesting terrain. Have you guys seen much of the west?
Point in Zion is beautiful myfriend👌
L9 👍, what a lovely virtual walk, thanks for this great informative share, stay blessed and safe, your friend Traveller MIA 🇬🇧
Thanks! Glad you found it enjoyable and useful! 😊

Hope you can make it out someday too, it's such a pretty national park!

Thanks! 😊
I really like your videos, long-lasting interaction registration
Thank you so much, we really appreciate that! 😊
Wow this is so cool. Had no idea and am definitely saving this 💪🏻 Looks make much less strenuous than Angels Landing 😂 - Drew
Thanks Drew! And yes! Much less strenuous AND wayyyy less death defying than Angels Landing! Do you guys have any plans to make it out to Zion in the future?
That is a million dollar view! 🤑
Wow is so pretty place
Wow Amazing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙂
This video is very original and creative.
Your great ideas and talents make great content.
you will be successful.👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻🥰
I'll see you again.

Sweet... looks like the beginning of the trail head was by the camp ground we stayed at outside of the east entrance!
That sounds about right! That's awesome you were camping out there! How recently was your trip?
Nice video! Want to go back to Zion!
It certainly is a great park!
very nice
Hi Courtney and Michael thanks for checking our channel. We are impressed by your channel and Moneybee financial advises. We wanted to travel to US but covid made our plans go into the shelf. Great to know 😀
Thank you so much! That really means a-lot! We hope you can make it to the USA in the future, there certainly is lots to see!
going to do this hopefully this coming March..

Hello dost new subscriber
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm wondering what time of year you were there? Do you think this hike is ok for older kids? Thank you!
Hi there! We were there end of April, and the weather was good (though we did see snow in Bryce Canyon at that time) so its smart to bring layers for a trip!
I think this hike is doable for older kids (we saw some kids who assumed were 9-12 on the hike.
For a shorter hike through the canyon, Zions Canyon Overlook trail could be perfect for them, (shorter, and still breathtaking views). We have a video walking through this trail as well if you are interested in parking, what to expect, etc.
How long is the walk to the observation point from this point? We are planning to do Zion this summer and out group will have small kids.
I may have missed it, but how long is this hike to the top? Amazing views! Lynn and Danny
Great question! It's probably around 3-4 hours round trip depending on your pace! And you're right, the views at the point are *SPECTACULAR*
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
how long is this trail?
What's bad about the shuttle
Can change the title to "... the only way" now! 😉
incroyable ! I subscribe !!! and welcome on my channel, sur le balafon et la kora, 2 instruments de musiques surprenant !
