Late May Itinerary Review

Hi r/ZionNationalPark! My husband and I are first timers coming to Zion late May. We have done a few hiking trips (i.e. Sedona, Grand Canyon) previously so we are excited to be able to come this year to Zion (and surrounding area). I wanted to get some feedback on our itinerary for pacing and recommendations.

Day 1 -

• Drive in from Kanab after lunch (coming from Page)

• Canyon Overlook Trail late afternoon / sunset

• Dinner @ Switchback

Day 2 -

• Narrows (not the permit, just lower portion)

• Lunch @ Hangry Goat

• Observation Point trail late afternoon / sunset

• Dinner @ Anu

Day 3 -

• Angel's Landing (permit before 9AM)

• Lunch @ Zion Canyon Brew Pub

• Emerald Pools and Watchman Trails in afternoon / sunset

• Dinner @ Spotted Dog

(Leave next morning for Bryce)

Some questions:

• We were going to rent gear to do the Narrows - how much equipment should we rent? I was leaning towards a chest-high bib

• Very lucky to have gotten our Angel's Landing permits. We get up usually at 6AM - what time would you recommend for the before 9AM time slot?

• Swap any hikes? We can't camp anywhere, but we aren't afraid of strenuous hikes

• Any other recommendations of day-time things to check out? We will have a rental car

Thanks!
