North Fork of Taylor Creek in Kolob Canyons of Zion Park

North Fork Taylor Creek


This was a nice hike but the highlight for us was spotting another arch. We seem to be into arches lately. This one is high on the cliff and can only be seen from certain angles. We were lucky to see it. We asked later at the visitor center and it was not named so we gave it a Brazilian name, Pico Rosado (pink spire) in honor of Bo's Brazilian wife. This hike is 7.5 miles (round trip) along an unmaintained route following the North Fork of Taylor Creek. The route begins at the Middle Fork of Taylor Creek Trail, which I had done before, but Bo had not. Take the middle fork to the first cabin and head to the left.

There is a fairly good path to take during the first section after the cabin, but then as it disappers just follow the stream bed to the end of the canyon.
