November 15th is the perfect day for Zion.

Why is that?

@@RyanTravels100 weather and crowds are gone, and it’s not Thanksgiving vacation. I was at the narrows starting point at the end of the River walk trail at 3:40 PM on Tuesday November 14, 2023 when the rock fall happened at Weeping Rock. Leaves were changing colors and it was t- shirt weather at 8 AM.

@@RyanTravels100 I was sitting at the end of River Walk trail watching cold people come out of the Virgin River when at 3:40 PM on Tuesday November 14, 2023 I heard a very loud rumbling for 10 seconds. I thought earth quake, or large military plane. I walked back to Temple on Sinewava and the buses were on hold. My female bus driver was hilarious. She kept us entertained. She said the original report was rock fall with injuries. After 1 hour we got under way. At Grotto bus stop she had us close all windows because of rock dust in the air. We picked up freaked out survivors covered in dust at Weeping Rock trail bus stop. They said it was ten seconds of terror. Rock fell 20 feet from a lady. The weather was perfect and leaves were changing colors and there were no lines of humans . I camped Watchman campground . Got space with no reservation. 11 A.M. My first visit. I have no intention of ever going when there is a crowd of humans.

Wow that’s crazy! Last time I visited was shortly after that rock fall. And I agree, when it’s too crowded it ruins the experience

@@RyanTravels100 I just can’t see trying to have a nature experience in a crowd. Winter looks like an interesting time to visit. Hope you’re well and happy. Peace.
