Observation Point in Zion National Park offers jaw-dropping views over the entire park, including Angels Landing and the Virgin River.

The trail linked below is a cheat trail which is much easier than hiking all the way up from the valley. Just park your car at the east mesa trailhead and the trail will be almost flat.
