Utah Points of Interest

Weeping Rock Trail Head


The Weeping Rock Trail Head is a popular point of interest in the Zion National Park in Utah. The trailhead is accessible via the Zion Canyon Shuttle and is located near the Zion Canyon Visitor Center. The Weeping Rock Trail is a short, moderate hike that leads to a unique geological formation called the Weeping Rock.

The trail is approximately 0.4 miles and takes about 30 minutes to complete. The trail is paved and is suitable for visitors of all ages. Along the trail, visitors will experience stunning views of the Zion Canyon and the surrounding rock formations. The Weeping Rock is a natural spring that drips down from the sandstone cliffs and creates a beautiful, misty waterfall. The water is believed to be from snowmelt and rain that seeps into the rock and then emerges at the Weeping Rock.

One of the unique things visitors can experience at the Weeping Rock is the sensation of standing under the waterfall. The rocks below the waterfall are smoothed and polished due to the constant flow of water over them. Visitors can stand under the waterfall and feel the cool mist on their skin.

The Weeping Rock Trail Head is a must-visit for anyone exploring Zion National Park. The trail is suitable for families with young children and offers a unique opportunity to see a natural wonder up close. The Weeping Rock is also a popular spot for photography, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when the light is best. Get driving directions.
