Introduction: What? : While the majority of visitors to Zion National Park spend their time fighting for a spot on the shuttle to reach the Narrows or Angels Landing, there is a quieter side of the canyon that many overlook. The Sand Bench Trail is a classic example of a "hidden in plain sight" adventure. Located right in the heart of the main canyon, this trail offers a perspective that most tourists only see from the windows of a moving bus. The trail takes you up onto a massive landslide bench that was formed thousands of years ago when a portion of the western canyon wall collapsed.
