Lee Pass is the trailhead for the La Verkin Creek Trail in Zion National Park's Kolob Canyons area, offering access to backcountry camping and hiking to Kolob Arch.

The trailhead provides access to 10 designated backpacking campsites between Lee Pass and Kolob Arch, plus 3 additional sites further upstream, with water available from Beatty Spring.

Wilderness permits are required and must be obtained from the Zion Canyon Visitor Center; the area is best visited during spring, summer, and fall, though creek crossings can be difficult during heavy rain.
