Shelter From the Elements

Halfway along the Canyon Overlook Trail in Zion National Park lies this alcove in the slickrock.

 

In summer, it is probably a great respite from the sun, in winter it keeps one out of the snow. The trail is rated as easy/moderate, and provides a stunning view of the West Temple. To catch sunrise, you hike this trail in the dark and should be sure-footed and have some sort of light with you.
