Things to do while in Zion National Park
Pioneer Park
Set just above downtown, Pioneer Park is one of the most accessible ways to experience the area’s red rock terrain. The park spans more than 50 acres, with a network of short trails, open slickrock, and natural features to explore. You can walk through narrow rock passages, climb up to Dixie Rock for wide views over the city, or wander off onto less crowded sections. It’s a flexible stop where you can spend 30 minutes here or a few hours depending on how much exploring you want to do.
Red Hills Desert Garden
Located just below Pioneer Park, Red Hills Desert Garden offers a more structured way to experience the desert environment. Paved paths guide you through native plants, shaded seating areas, and a small stream that draws in birds and other wildlife. One of the highlights is a clearly marked set of dinosaur tracks preserved in the rock, which you can view up close.
Bearclaw Poppy Trailhead
Bearclaw Poppy Trailhead is a popular option for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. The trail system features rolling terrain with a mix of dirt paths and slickrock sections, making it interesting without being overly technical. Routes here are easy to adjust based on time and ability level, so it works well for a shorter outing or a longer session. In the spring, you may spot the rare Bearclaw poppy, a plant native to this specific part of Utah.
