Zion - Taylor Creek


Taylor Creek is in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion. It is a dead end trail following Taylors Creek until it reaches Double Arch Alcove near the headwall of the canyon. I started out in slick snow and ice, but once I'd walked a half mile, it was better trail. The trail and the river were one and the same in many spots. On the return, I just walked in the river as it was easier.


There are a couple historic cabins along the way. Just past the second one the trail ends at a huge double arch.


I ate lunch in the arch, watching some nearby birds and listening to the water dripping from above.
