For our second adventure at Zion National Park we headed to what we think is the BEST view in the entire park, Observation Point! The main trail from the canyon, which we did last time, is closed indefinitely, so we tried a new route via the East Mesa Trail, which is slightly less scenic, but has all of the EPIC views at the end!

NOTE: You can no longer park in the gravel lot we mentioned. You can either park at the trailhead if you have high clearance and 4x4 OR you can park at Zion Ponderosa and they will shuttle you to the trailhead for $5 a person.
