Starting at the Temple of Sinawava, the Riverside Walk is a wonderful little hike that affords great views of the Virgin River and wonderfully lush hanging gardens and trees surrounded by tall weeping walls. There are more than 800 native plant species that are found in Zion National Park. The Virgin River offers a cooler, damp place for willow, cottonwood, box elder and ash trees. These groves of trees give provide an array of color for each season. The vibrant pastels of spring’s blossoms and budding new leaves are normally visible from mid-March until mid-May. In summer the leaves in Zion National Park darken and then in fall the park is filled with brilliant leaves of orange, gold, yellow and red.
