What are good hikes to do with family. We will be heading down Christmas week.

How old are your children? That makes a huge difference in what hike to take. Angel's Landing is listed as a strenuous hike (1,500 ft elevation gain) with Walter's Wiggles (steep, seemingly unending switchbacks) that breaks out to some wicked exposure (cable to hang onto). If you have younger children or family members afraid of exposure, this hike isn't it. Other trails go to other vistas overlooking the valley but all are also listed as strenuous hikes. If your kids aren't too young and like splashing in water, going a little ways into the Narrows might work. You can rent appropriate gear outside the park entrance. Spots are deep, and you walk on loose rocks. Again, this hike would depend on ages. Older kids could go farther. Less dangerous for younger kids would be the hikes to the pools or walk along the beaches of the Virgin River. Again, your decision here is very dependent on ages. A stop at the visitor center with a ranger might best answer your questions.

I like Angels Landing it is scenic and you can go at your own pace......just stop at watchmens landing! I would'nt try The Narroes might be alot cold in Dec.

Weeping rock trail was a short hike. There are trails along the river with lots of deer. We got some great pictures on the bridges. There are some trails just past the road with the tunnel that weren't bad. We only had 3 hours to spend at the park and still got to see a lot.

I agree with M. Q. Smith and Jason Kidman. Angel's landing is not for young kids. But most of the hike to Angel's landing is pretty flat. It's the last part of Angel's Landing which is dangerous not only for kids but anyone afraid of heights or exposure to open valleys. You'll see public restrooms before the start of the dangerous hike on Angel's landing. Many people and kids home upto there and turn around. Hike to Observation point is long and strenuous but I have seen families with kids hike. Narrows might be a good hike too.

I think these could be great ones - Angels landing, watchmen's trail

Watchman's Trail is a great hike has some amazing photo worthy views.

Hidden Canyon and Angel's Landing are really fun hikes! Both best if no snow on the trails.

Angels landing is a good hike. It took us around 5-6 hours and has nice views. Its strenuous and has steep spots. We have to be careful.

Observation point is good for a 5ish hour hike.. Not recommended for young kids. Steep hike but flat terrain.
