The North East section of Zion that you can drive to near the other entrance is much less traveled. We did not run into one person on this hike. We got the creepies a few times feeling like a Cougar was going to jump out. On our way up we did see a few big horned Ram of some sort. Felt like the trail could go on for miles. The parking lot is just before you exit Zion on the left. There is a dirt parking lot you can drive and park at. Easy trail with sand and dirt. You are up out of the Canyon and have slightly different views around you consisting of unique rock formations, pines, and small brush. Not much water here at least in the summer. All the creeks were dry so make sure to pack in your water!
My blog is intended to be an informative guide for hiking and backpacking. While books and official sites are helpful, I am always left with a sense of uncertainty about the adventure. I figured it would be helpful to have a little more qualitative data and some pictures to help inform your choices. I also hope to share my adventures with friends and family who wonder what I do with my time. Suggestions on places to hike or what to include in my blog would be much appreciated! Enjoy!
