Description
The Canyon Overlook Trial at Zion National Park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. It runs about a half mile from the east portal of the famous Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel to an overlook at the Great Arch. Sections of the trail are cantilevers over sheer stone cliffs. The trail was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
