May 11: Zion - Canyon Overlook Trail - a terrific short hike

This was our favorite "easy" hike - at the east end of the tunnel. It's about 1 mile round trip, toughest part is the initial staircase carved into sandstone (can be slippery but there's a handrail). There are some steep dropoffs and one "hanging boardwalk" over the gorge, which make it interesting. There are neat sandstone formations and hoodoos, and then the fabulous view at the overlook.
