Rosy-hued slot canyons turn orange and draw long shadows as sunshine intrudes, then retreats, from picturesque water-carved chasms in Zion National Park.
Crimson Trail climbs steeply up limestone cliffs to good views of the canyon. The trail begins at Guivanah-Malibu Campground and ends at Spring Hollow Campground. You can make it a loop by returning 1.5 miles along the Riverside Trail (#1).
