Angels Landing
Iconic 5 mile round trip hike with beautiful views of the unique landscape of Zion National Park. It is known for it's narrow chain linked ridge at its peak. Make sure to go early in the morning, to avoid the crowds as that can make the hike a little dangerous.

The Narrows
Hike through into Zion's beautiful canyons while wading through a cool shallow river. This is a great option in the Spring or Summer when the weather is very hot. It isn't recommended in the winter due to the freezing temperatures.

Jemez Springs
These hot springs sit on a slight cliff, so you're able to enjoy some amazing views while soaking in natural hot springs. I'd recommend going while it's snowing! The hike in snow is a little challenging, but you'll have the hot springs all to yourself and with a beautiful snowy backdrop.

Antelope Canyon
I hesitate to put this one on here, because it is a bit expensive and does get quite crowded, but this canyon was really incredibly beauiful. As long as you have the expectation that for both crowds and cost, you will enjoy your time.
