The Watchman Trail is listed as a moderate hike in the Zion National Park Hiking Guide with a distance of 3.3 miles and an elevation change of 368 feet. I think a lot of people may take a pass on this trail because it kicks off right from the Visitor Center. However, I liked the trail and its scenic views of the Zion Canyon and beyond. Here is the Trail Map and several photos taken from ground level or from a very low elevation at the beginning of the hike. As you may know by now, Zion National Park is a beautiful place.
Zion is at the top of my list of National Parks to visit. I can’t wait to hike the trails one day.

You should definitely plan a trip. The Park can get crowded at times, but the hiking is wonderful. 🙂

I enjoy looking at photos and videos of Angels Landing and the Narrows. What month do you recommend for visiting the park?

I would say to avoid crowds, try visiting in months when schools are in session. The website below suggests visiting in the Fall, and I agree with them. https://www.visitutah.com/places-to-go/most-visited-parks/zion/travel-tips
