Zion National Park - Observation Point

October 14, 2018 - Southwest Utah

7.9 mi  /  2,216 ft

I was headed down to St George to play in the last volleyball tournament of the season and decided to swing by Zion on the way back because...well because it's Zion. :) I'd done Observation Point several times before but never put it on the site so it was a good fit. It's arguably a better view of the main canyon than Angels Landing, but not nearly as dramatic a hike. That said, it was still pretty busy with lots of people on the trail. Crazy for mid-October. We got there early enough to avoid the hoards, but by the time we left there was not a single parking spot at the visitor center. I'll have to try January sometime. :)
