It was a good day of hiking; almost stepped on a really bigrattler at the first notch on the ridge. The wind was a bit unnervingas we walked across some of the narrower ridges and ledges. We spentquite a bit of time at the "third notch" trying to find a waydown....just need to walk in front and find a nice coniferous tree toclimb onto! We found some of the obstacles from the notch untilthe "White Band Upclimb" more testy than the bolted climb itself..Definately a good day hike (with a rope). We started hiking at 6:30amand were back to the vehicles at 3pm. Could have been a bit shorter dayif either of us had hiked it before, but then the unknown is what madeit really rewarding!

Zion National Park is one of the most incredible places in the world. It is a haven for hikers, climbers, canyoneers and tourists flocking to the park just to get a glimpse of the spectacular monolithes and deep carved canyons in this small corner of Southern Utah. The nearby Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the hiking areas between Zion and the Staircase are often discussed in this blog as well.
