"EAST RIM II" Zion National Park Things to Do Tip by mtncorg

Several other trails come off the East Rim trail. The first goes to Hidden Canyon, a narrow slot canyon whose entrance is 'hidden' from view below. The canyon is directly to the eas of the Great White Throne and involves steps cut into the rock and chain cables to help with loose sections of the way. Halfway up the East Rim trail, Echo Canyon trail branches off, continuing up the canyon - where the East Rim trail begins to climb out of the canyon. The Echo Canyon trail leads to several other eastern trails - Cable Mountain, Deertrap Mountain and the East Entrance trail. Climbing out of Echo Canyon offers grand views out towards Angels Landing, far down below to the west.
