Observation Point

Up one level

Zion National Park » Observation Point

Since we had already hiked up Angel's Landing on our previous trip to Zion, Serene and I hiked up to Observation Point this time. This hike was the first that we did with poles and we're now converts. I don't know why I didn't pick up a pair of hiking poles earlier since using poles made going both up and down significantly easier.
