B+W, Canyon Downpour, Zion NP
We began the summer day in our swimming trunks, heading east to Zion. It wasn't until we arrived at the park that we learned of the incoming storm. As a result, the trail leading through the Narrows was closed due to possible flash floods. We were determined not be shutout and examined our options. The trail to Observation Point looked as good as anything else, so we climbed 2100 feet over 4 miles. Yes, this was as good as anything else the park had to offer. Killer views of the valley, 1000-foot cliffs around every corner, and the storm... That's how you arrive on the top of a mountain in your bathing suit.
