Lee Pass is the primary trailhead for the La Verkin Creek Trail in Zion National Park's Kolob Canyons area, offering access to a 7-mile route to Kolob Arch with 10 designated backpacking campsites between Lee Pass and the arch.

A wilderness permit is required for overnight camping, and permits must be obtained from the Zion Canyon Visitor Center (45 minutes south of Kolob Canyons).

The trail features creek crossings that can be difficult during heavy rain, with Beatty Spring providing reliable water for filtering.
