I need some opinions of the best worthwhile (yet not too long) hikes there. A couple hours is okay, just not something that takes multiple days. If you know any good camp grounds that would be good too.|||Zion National Park Hiking
This Zion National Park hiking guide was written and compiled by Bo Beck and Tanya Milligan. Bo is the veteran on Zion's elite high angle search and rescue team and knows the park as well as anyone. He was canyoneering in the park long before the term was used. He still calls it "hiking with a rope" rather than canyoneering. Bo has served on the SAR team since 1996 and when he has time he is a lead instructor for Paragaon Climbing School. For 6 years Bo and I wrote monthly hiking articles for local magazines including Today in Dixie and St. George Today and spent every weekend, almost without fail, hiking, canyoneering or climbing together in Zion and the nearby areas that are covered on this site.|||You can tryout Weeping Rock or the Lower Emerald Pool--popular easy trails. Or you can try Sedona hiking in AZ and make a go for Cathedral Rock or the West Fork Trail. They're both relatively easy and enjoyable trails.|||For this kind of a question you really need to get to http://www.americanhiking.org/ This website will be a good guide for hiking all over the US. Before you go to any specific park you should purchase a book on that site. An example would be this book for Canyonlands:

Good luck and have fun~|||Riverside Walk
