Zions Canyon
October 1st, 2008 Posted in Raves
I never thought I’d stay in Utah after coming to go to school. I thought for sure I’d end up back in California or coastal state. Nonetheless, it’s really grown on me.
A big reason for that is the natural beauty, which is why Utah is the capital of National Parks (with a record five). I’ve been to Bryce, Arches, Capital Reef and Canyonlands, but in my mind, Zions tops the list.
On of my favorite hikes is still the main Zions Narrows and then up Orderville Canyon. It’s a great up and back that can be done in half a day (I don’t recommend the top to bottom as it’s a HUGE waste of time with car shuttling). Sure there are more remote hikes, but this one is easily accessible and I love taking people who have never been.
