Sand Bench Trail, Zion National Park, Utah
View Original Description
The Sand Bench Trail is a 7.6 mi (12.2 km) roundtrip hike atop the remains of an ancient rockfall. This trail leads hikers along the Virgin River and then ascends a landslide that dammed the Virgin River 8,000 years ago and created a lake that extended to Angels Landing. This trail is a commercial horse trail from March to October, and it receives little shade in the hot, summer sun. Winter travel is possible, but watch for patches of ice.Water and restrooms are available at The Zion Lodge.
