Hiking the Kayenta Trail - Zion National Park - RV Family
We hiked the Kayenta Trail at Zion National Park. The weather seemed like it was going to be good but there was actually a forest fire two hours north! It was a little smokey that day but the smoked cleared up within a couple hours. This was a great moderate trail to hike. It has some great views as you hike to the top and a great area to have some lunch before you start your way back down. This trail leads up through the middle emerald pool and stops at the upper emerald pool. At least when we went which was the dry season, the pools where not very emerald. While hiking make sure to watch the edge, there is a cliff edge with a steep drop down!
VIDEO: ATV in the Sand Dunes - Fun adventure near Zion National Park
Spent three FUN hours today riding ATVs with ATV and Jeep Adventures about 30 miles from Zion National Park in Hurricane, Utah. We left on our adventure from a beautiful blue man-made lake at Sand Hollow State Park beach. On our ATVs we climbed about 2,500 feet to the top of a high red desert plateau, passing red sandstone rock formations and a myriad of desert plant life. Traversing and climbing the sand dunes atop the plateau was the highlight of the day.
Sights in Zion

La Verkin Creek Trail
Full Blog with Photos:
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.
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.

S3 E14 Lee Pass to The Grotto, Zion National Park, Utah October 2016
Our 37 mile/60k descent through beautiful fall foliage and most of the Zion Traverse was an ideal multi-night introduction to backpacking in Zion National Park. For Craig, this was his first overnight trip ever; Well done!
We chose to skip the side trip to Angel's Landing on this trip because we had both done it before. If you do not suffer from vertigo or a fear of heights, this exhilarating side trip is highly recommended!
Be sure to secure a backcountry permit if camping overnight; I obtained mine in person the day before entry.
Water sources can be challenging during autumn on this route. Here was my experience with known water sources during our visit:
Spring near ∆7 Kolob Canyon: Too slow
La Verkin Creek: Very good if pulled from swift current
Hop Valley Trailhead: No water, CACHE WATER HERE IF POSSIBLE
Wildcat Canyon Spring: Too slow
Sawmill Spring: Very good but shallow puddle (glad I had a small water bottle to bail water in to my gravity bag)
Cabin Spring: Undesirable muddy flavor
During the spring, Potato Hollow provides an additional water source.
Segments of this trip can be done as an out-and-back day hike or as a one-way day hike with a shuttle. This route requires a 43 mile shuttle from Zion Canyon entrance to Lee Pass. If you don't have an extra car, Zion Adventure Company offers a shuttle service. For more info, visit or call them at:

Any overnight stay in the Zion Wilderness requires a permit; day hikes do not, with the exception of The Narrows day hike.
Advance Reservations: up to 3 months in advance
Over half of all the Wilderness camping areas are available using a calendar reservation system. Reservations are available online during a three month time frame. On the fifth day of every month at 10:00 am MT, reservations for the next month become available. If they are still available, they can be made until 5:00 pm MT on the day before your trip.
There is a fee for an online calendar reservation, and there is an additional charge for a permit that is determined by the size of your group.
Backpackers that intend to camp in multiple locations need to make a separate reservation for each location.
Walk-in Permits: up to one day in advance
About one-third of backpacking permits are not available through the reservation system. They are available as walk-in permits and can be obtained at park visitor centers the day before or the day of your trip.
If you are a frequent visitor to Zion, consider enrolling in the Zion Express Membership. It allows members who have obtained a reservation to convert it to a permit online, three days before their trip. The entire permit process can be completed online. Stop by the Wilderness Desk to enroll.

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.
