Reviews of The Grotto Picnic Area
"The starting spot for Angels Landing Trailhead. You cannot park here. A shuttle must bring you from the main visitor center near Springdale town or from stop 2 parking lot, which is the Human History Museum too."
"Moderate level hike somewhat steep in some areas. There are two path options. A smooth trail, that's somewhere steep in some areas to the left with very beautiful views of the canyon. To the right there is a pathway with steps, stones, and pools of water. There's a waterfall at the top but it was mostly dry when we walked the trail in early May."
"Like here during snowing time, it’s so pretty to see snow while enjoy the view of angels landing."
"Great area to enjoy before a good hike! Area gets plenty of sun which is nice. During the winter... Parking is super limited so get there early."
"At the Grotto Picnic Spot you will find the Grotto Trail which connects to Zion Lodge one mile away. The path is flat, wide and easy to walk. You can cover the distance in 15-20 minutes depending on your walking speed and the number of stops you make for photographs. We found this to be a decent trail through The Grotto, which is a meadow and place you may spot a mule deer or turkey. We heard and then spotted two turkey during our hike. Otherwise, scenery is less dramatic and scenic compared to other more challenging and exciting hikes you can make in Zion NP. Note: The Grotto Trail links up to the Kayenta and Angel's Landing trails which start across the Virgin River at The Grotto, making it a good add-on trail for those planning to walk either of these during time spent in the Zion Canyon. Note: The Zion shuttle bus stops at both (5) Zion Lodge and (6) The Grotto. You can start The Grotto Trail from either of these locations."
