Weeping Rock is a distinctive sandstone alcove in Zion National Park where water continuously seeps from cliff faces, nourishing vibrant hanging gardens and mosses. A short, paved trail leads visitors up from the Zion Canyon shuttle route to a sheltered lookout behind the weeping wall of water. The site provides a cool, shaded vantage point with scenic views across Zion Canyon.
