Zion National Park – Return to Hop Valley

Located off exit 40 on Interstate 15 in Utah, the La Verkin Creek Trail is the main through trail of the Kolob Canyons section of Zion. Starting at Lee Pass along the Kolob Canyons Road, this trail runs almost 11 miles in length, looping south around the Finger Canyons, then turning east to join up with La Verkin Creek. The Hop Valley Trail is a 6.5-mile stretch of trail that connects the Hop Valley Trailhead with the La Verkin Creek Trail and is part of the “Trans-Zion Hike” that allows backpackers to hike from the Kolob section all the way down to Angels Landing and into the main canyon.
