Kolob Fingers/Arch

[Sarae]

Headed up to Zion Oct. 7-10th with my backpacking club and checked Kolob Arch off my list of trips. The leaves were just changing and the weather was perfect! It is said to be a strenuous hike, but I would say it's more moderate. 13.8 miles and 1750' elevation gain.

If you are wondering about the availability of trees at the campsites along La Verkin Creek... your answer is there are plenty Almost every site that I passed by had several hanging options. We stayed at site #11, which is a group site that you can reserve at the Zion Backcountry Office. There is plenty of space at this site for hammockers and ground dwellers alike. Here are a few pics...

I remember sitting on tops of Angels Rest wondering if anything could be any better.
