This clearly marked trailhead leads into the Echo Canyon trail that spans nearly five miles from start to finish. Echo Canyon is known for its switchbacks that take hikers on a 2,100-foot descent over the course of the hike. The Echo Canyon trail has sheer cliffs and impressive views of the Angel's Landing area of the Park. The hike ends at Weeping Rock, the wall of sandstone that boasts lush vegetation nurtured by a continuous rain that seeps from the rock. Shuttle service will meet hikers in the Weeping Rock parking lot, four hours after the beginning of the hike.
Hikers begin the hike adjacent to the east entrance of the mile long tunnel in the Park.
A short ascent takes hikers to a scenic trail used for surveying the tunnel construction in the 1920s. This hike is approximately one hour in walking distance and offers beautiful views of the park.
