Scout Lookout

Scout Lookout is a popular hiking destination in Zion National Park, offering stunning views of the canyon. The West Rim Trail, a paved and steep path, leads to Scout Lookout, with an elevation gain of over 1,000 feet. The trail is challenging, but the views from the top are well worth the effort. Along the way, hikers can enjoy the scenic views of the canyon and potentially spot endangered California condors. The trail is not suitable for dogs, and hikers should be prepared for steep inclines and switchbacks. The area is also home to the threatened Mexican Spotted Owl, so hikers are advised to be quiet when hiking through Refrigerator Canyon
