Menu Falls is a small seep and waterfall, about ten feet tall, in a forested alcove on the east side of the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive between the Big Bend and Temple of Sinawava shuttle stops. It is named for a picture once used on the Zion Lodge menu. There is no stop at the falls and no sign. Get off the shuttle at Big Bend and walk north along the road, then look to the right (east) for a short path to a wooden viewing deck. You can also walk south along the road from the Temple of Sinawava. Step aside for vehicles, especially shuttle buses. Return the same way or continue to the next stop.
