Taylor Creek Hike in Kolob Canyons - Zion, Utah
Taylor Creek is located in the northern Kolab Canyons section of Zion National Park.
The trail up the Middle Fork of Taylor Creek takes you to the Double Arch Alcove, which are huge caverns within the massive rock cliff faces that line the canyon.
It is far less crowded than the Virgin River area of Zion, and therefore much more peaceful and serene
Most people stop at the arches where the established trail ends, but there is a scramble that continues another mile until the canyon ends at a huge seasonal waterfall.

Taylor Creek Trail to Double Arch Alcove - Zion National Park.
Double Arch Alcove is located 2.6 miles from Taylor Creek Trailhead in the Kolob Canyon section of Zion National Park. The Taylor Creek Trail follows Middle Fork through a narrow, high-walled canyon to a large grotto topped by a sandstone arch.
The Taylor Creek Trail features a lush riparian corridor framed by colorful rock formations all along its path. This lightly used trail is best in late May and early October when spring blooms and autumn colors peak.
Perennial water and higher elevations make Taylor Creek a good choice during busy summer months when temperatures soar and crowds swell in Zion Canyon:
The trail winds down from the parking area into the stream bed and turns right (east) up the south bank. Cottonwood, maple, oak, pinyon, juniper and ponderosa form a loose canopy over the trail. In .2 miles you'll be led over the creek, the first of many crossings up to the Larsen Cabin and North Fork - Middle Fork confluence (1.1 miles : 5,626'). Continue east along the Middle Fork.
In 1.5 miles the crimson walls of Tucupit Point (north - 7,698') and Paria Point (south - 7802') rise dramatically over the trail. The peak behind Tucupit is Horse Ranch Mountain (8,726'), the highest point in Zion National Park.
Travel intensifies through heavier brush, a good place to find signs of deer, turkey, skunk, coyote and mountain lion. Be particularly mindful of rattlesnakes in these cluttered sections.
Just past Fife Cabin (2.1 miles : 5,810') the trail drops into the creek and travels upstream a short distance. Entry-exit points to the creek are subtly marked but intuitively found.
Once back on the trail it soon fades and spills into a wide berth confined by tall canyon walls and boulders at the base of Double Arch Alcove (2.7 miles : 5,975').
While the alcove is immediately obvious, the arch above it is not; scramble back north in this atrium-like setting for a better look at both features.
The grotto is coated with striking colors drawn from minerals in the rock. Snow melt and seeping waters from above trickle over the grotto's ledge, forming mist and conditions that support hanging gardens. A very beautiful experience.

Kolob Canyon
Produced by Utah.com Located just off Interstate 15, these spectacular finger canyons of Zion offers soaring cliffs of red Navajo sandstone and deep pocket canyons just waiting to be discovered. The word Kolob is from Mormon scripture meaning residence closest to heaven. Visit Kolob Canyon and see for yourself.
For more information about Kolob Canyon visit:

Located off exit 40 on Interstate 15 in Utah, the La Verkin Creek Trail is the main through trail of the Kolob Canyons section of Zion. Starting at Lee Pass along the Kolob Canyons Road, this trail runs almost 11 miles in length, looping south around the Finger Canyons, then turning east to join up with La Verkin Creek. The Hop Valley Trail is a 6.5-mile stretch of trail that connects the Hop Valley Trailhead with the La Verkin Creek Trail and is part of the Trans-Zion Hike that allows backpackers to hike from the Kolob section all the way down to Angels Landing and into the main canyon.
DAY-HIKING - Taylor Creek Trail to Double Arch Alcove
In this video, my daughter and I went for a day hike at the Taylor Creek Trail which is located in the Kolob Canyons and it is part of the Zion National Park.
The Taylor Creek Trail is considered a moderate trail in level of difficulty but it is an amazing trail. It is a 5 miles out and back trail with elevation changes of 500-700 feet. The highlights of this trail are the water crossings, the homestead cabins, and the beautiful Double Arch Alcove at the end of the trail.
For this hike, we made sure we woke up very early because the parking lot can become full at around 10 am on weekends. We were the first at the trailhead and got to enjoy majority of the hike by ourselves. This hike was beautiful and the weather was perfect. I highly recommend it!!

Zion National Park 2015
Zion National Park is located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to half a mile (800 m) deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest elevation is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest elevation is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park's unique geography and variety of life zones allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches.
Zion is about 2.5 hours away from Las Vegas and worth the drive!!!

Recorded June 2, 2019
The Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park is located 17 miles south of Cedar City. A five-mile scenic drive along the Kolob Canyons Road allows visitors to view the crimson canyons and gain access to various trails and scenic viewpoints. Here in the northwest corner of the park, narrow parallel box canyons are cut into the western edge of the Colorado Plateau, forming majestic peaks and 2,000 foot cliff walls.

The Kolob Canyons area of Zion National Park receives far fewer visitors than the main Zion Canyon, but it is a stunning area full of red rock cliffs. The La Verkin Creek Trail travels through these canyons following Timber Creek down to La Verkin Creek. It then follows up the creek into the canyons taking you past the Kolob Arch, the second largest free-standing arch in the world. A great place to turn around is up to a wonderful slot canyon called Bear Trap Canyon that ends in a waterfall.

VISITING - A Rainy Day at Kolob Canyons in Zion NP
In this video, my son, my daughter and I went for a quick visit on the scenic route at Kolob Canyons.
Kolob Canyons is the northwest section of Zion National Park of Utah, United States and it is part of the Colorado Plateau region of the park. It is known for its colorful beauty, tall walls and different types of landscape. It is located south of Cedar City in Utah and is required a fee or the national parks' card to visit.
This turned out to be a very rainy day and we almost didn't go to visit; however, my son was only spending a few days with us so I wanted to take him to see it. It turned out to be an awesome experience and I'm glad we got to see it in the rain. I highly recommend it!
