The Timber Creek Overlook Trail at Zion National Park in New Harmony, Utah is an easy 1.2-mile out-and-back trail that leads to one of the best lookout points in the park.

Temporarily Closed

Once you reach the top of the climb, you might gasp as you look out across the vast beauty that awaits your arrival at the overlook for such an easy hike.
