One of the more underrated hikes in
Zion National Park is the Middle Fork hike of the Finger Canyons. This area has some incredible views and a very oasis like feel. There are streams, waterfalls, a lush greenery making this the most popular of the three forks of Taylor Creek. Middle Fork is home to Larsen Cabin (a historic building right the trail) and Double Arch Alcove. Expect plenty of sun exposure and some shade throughout.
