Hiking to Observation Signal in Zion National Park

In April, I went to Zion National Park for the starting time time. Homo was I impressed. With the towering monoliths, crazy sandstone formations, and epic views, I easily could have spent a few weeks hither exploring. But out of all of the things we did, the East Mesa Trail hike to the top of Observation Point stood out every bit ane of my favorite hikes. Information technology was way less crowded than the hike up Angel's Landing, and there's null like hiking up the side of a sheer cliff face, with zilch between you and the valley floor. While the morning started out a little grey, somewhen sun broke through, making for some fine photo opportunities. Here's a map and a drove of some of my favorite shots from the hike.

If y'all are headed to Zion and want more information about the hike to Observation Point and the other best trails in southern Utah, I highly recommend checking out the book Hiking from Here to WOW: Utah Canyon Country. Every hike I've done in southern Utah from this book has been nothing short of awesome. Or but leave any questions or comments below, and I'll be certain to respond.
