Beginner hikes should be beautiful and forgiving. These are.
The Narrows in Zion. You walk up a river between towering walls. Flat and stunning.
The Mist Trail in Yosemite. Steep but short. Vernal Falls is the reward.
Mount Washburn in Yellowstone. Gentle switchbacks, panoramic views, bison.
Painted Desert Rim in Arizona. Easy walk along dramatic views.
Hanging Lake in Colorado. Two miles to a turquoise alpine lake.
Start with these. Build confidence. Then go bigger.
The best beginner hike is the one you finish and want to repeat.
