This hike is simply beautiful. It is not notable as an adventurous or lengthy route, it is admittedly and predictably crowded... and yet, it is most definitely worth the effort to make this less-than-1/2-mile trek happen. If so inclined, the route's brevity is perfectly suited as an add-on when hiking to either Observation Point or Hidden Canyon. If that is the idea, schedule the diversion to Weeping Rock on the way back from either hike. If you choose to hike Weeping Rock after your first hike, there will be fewer people on the trail in the later part of the day.

The hike, itself, is an easy stroll on a paved park path. The sheer value in the hike lies in the stark contrast to the majority of the surrounding environment. Whereas Zion is primarily desert and rock, this little alcove in a protected, shaded canyon is a refuge of coolness.

The presence of constantly dripping water from Echo Canyon allows delicate plants to thrive. Take the time to meander slowly and read the interpretive signs about the plant life.

The sound of trickling water is soothing and encourages hot and tired hikers to relax and refresh after a longer outing in the harsh desert.

Whether the goal is a short-and-sweet, relaxing outing, or a refreshing end to a long adventure, Weeping Rock is the perfect destination.
