After seeing Zion canyon from the bottom, I found it amazing to see the Virgin river from the top, where it is just a creek among meadows, and then to follow it down as it carves its way through the red rock, the walls gradually getting higher and higher.
-The Subway -- an incredibly fun hike; swimming, jumping, ducking, climbing, etc. It has it all.
Anyone can do Angel's Landing, but you will need backcountry permits for the other two. You can get them online, but for the Subway you will need to enter a lottery process. If you apply during March, you can get passes for June. Apply during April for July passes, etc. You can get more info at the zion np website.

The Subway is the best hike in Utah, IMO. It's fabulous.
