Large group hiking suggestions in Zion area
In July I'll be bringing about 20 college students to the Zion area as part of a summer program with CEU. We will hit the Shakespearean Festival and Tuacahn. One morning I would like to take them hiking for 3-5 hours. In the past we have done Emerald Pool, River Walk, and Angel's Landing (never again will I take the group past Scouts Landing.)
Anyway, do any of you Zion-area experts have some recommendations? The hikes could be in the park or outside it doesn't matter.
Thanks in advance.The gostak distims the doshes.

Hidden canyon is great. It gives you a little feel of Angel's Landing. This hike is started at the Weeping Rock trailhead. There are a couple of areas with chains (but not as scarey as Angel's Landing). If you hike up far enough, there is an arch to. seel.

in lieu of taking the Hidden Canyon side trail, consider having your group stay on the main trail up to Echo Canyon. Shady there and a fun place to hang out before returning back down to the start.
Or consider visiting Hidden Gardens. Bo/Tanya have a writeup. A lot of that ought to be in the shade. You could extend the hike further up Clear Creek and perhaps even visit the Petros Canyon before returning or being met by a car shuttle.
