Come discover parts of Zion National Park that not as many other folks see...but are still as spectacular. Most of these are less accessible and might demand more time than one day. Also, these hikes usually demand a certain fitness from those who attempt them. But they are very worth it.

Not in the mood for another hike? Check out these other five local gems just outside Zion. The Novel House is quiet, "liberated" from kids and pets, and not overrun by the masses. Grab a mean cup o' joe at the locals' favorite coffee shop, the Mean Bean. The Dinosaur Discovery Farm is a great place to explore for an afternoon, especially if you have young ones. (Or if you're young at heart yourself.) If it's summertime, catch an evening show at Tanner Theater, or one of the Bard's plays at the Shakespearean Festival. And you thought Zion was just for hiking.
