This is a beautiful lookout point on the West Rim Trail in Zion

A quiet, unmarked and very nice lookout point, just off the West Rim Trail above Scout Lookout

There's no sign or info about this point... it's just a nice flat rock just off the trail with stunning views both up and down Zion Canyon. Walk out behind the little rock knob, and you'll find a nice, flat area perfect for a picnic. Stay away from the edge of course, since the dropoff is extreme.
