Weeping Rock

Zion National Park, Utah

Weeping Rock, a beautiful alcove of hanging gardens and dripping water, remains one of the most popular hiking trails in Utah’s Zion National Park—the trail is 0.4-mile roundtrip with a moderately steep climb.

From the Weeping Rock Trailhead, climb the steep trail to the lush alcove where young and old alike enjoy playing in the shower-like waterfalls that seep from the rock alcove—the moist environment is a haven for wildflowers such as columbine, shooting stars, and monkeyflowers.

NBH Tip

Near the Weeping Rock alcove, the stairs and trail can become slippery due to the water dripping on the surface—watch your footing in this area.
If you are up for a longer hike, the Weeping Rock Trailhead is also the starting point for the Observation Point and Hidden Canyon Trails—combine two or more of these trails for the perfect day in Zion.
