Itinerary description

Show original

We left the car at the visitor center, this car park is next to an entrance to the Park, if you have thought about doing this route, try to access the park through the entrance and visit (even by car) the entire canyon, it is beautiful.
After leaving the car we use the buses (or Shuttles) to get to Stop 5, known as Zion Lodge. From where we started the Trail, in August 2023 the bridge that crossed the river was closed, so we had to take off our shoes and cross it on foot. This path takes us to a cool forest with a very good smell before reaching the pools, there are several and you can access them in a different order than the one my trail marks. I recommend enjoying the corners that you can find further away from the crowd. After that we did the Kayenta Trail to get to the shuttle stop 6 (The Grotto) and return to the car park.
Note that for this trail, unlike Angels Landing, it is not necessary the day before a raffle to access it.
Easy route to see corners of the Canyon.
