Description
Snow covered Pine creek along Mt.Carmel Hwy,Zion National Park,Utah.
East Rim Trailhead - The 10-mile hike starts at the east entrance of Zion National Park (park a vehicle here and another at the Weeping Rock parking lot or at Canyon Junction if the shuttles are running) in a wide open flat area. Watch for the small "trailhead" sign along the Zion-Mt. Carmel Hwy, immediately west of the east entrance booth. From the first section of the hike, the view looking back towards the road frames the geological wonder, Checkerboard Mesa. It's deeply etched crossbedding showcases the White Cliffs. The old wagon road trail (Winder Stock Trail) ascends gradually the next 5 miles through Junipers, Pinyon Pines, shrubs and some small Ponderosa Pines. Some places are sandy along the trail, but the steady climb to the top of the mesa is moderate trek. The (intermittent) creek bed of Clear Creek and the line where BLM land begins will be to the right.
