I've have also heard Angel's Landing is great, but I understand it's not for anyone with a fear of heights. I hiked Emerald Pools and the Narrows, which are easier going and offer the oppotunity for a swim. But, if heights don't bother you, definitely do Angel's Landing. I watched the sun come up from the south rim of the Grand Canyon and that was great. Don't know much about the North Rim. I also enjoyed hiking Bryce which is about two hours from Zion.

wow that's a really amazing view!

I think unless you're going to hike to the bottom, the view won't change much. Three of our group hiked down into the canyon for a couple of hours and then muscled it back up. They said the view didn't change much, more just of a physical challenge. Of course, we were on the south rim and there were great views from the area of the lodge. Our sunrise views were from Bright Angel point, a short walk from the lodge. There is a dining room that sits right on the edge of the canyon, and an outdoor viewing area with chairs where you can sit back and just enjoy your mocha. Donkeys are another way to go as long as you are within the 200 lb weight limit. I think a hike across Bryce Canyon is worth a day. www.nps.gov/brca/
