Here’s a general outline of the activities we are anticipating in the days ahead at Zion National Park and the area surrounding it. These are subject to change and are posted so that there is a written plan that people can refer to in the event of an incident. This will be updated in the days ahead with specific hikes and some of the alternative sites we might visit in the even of any contingency plan being initiated.
March 14:
Noon - Arrive at Zion National Park after driving from Wichita all night. Set up camp and do a series of small hikes through the afternoon.
March 15-17:
Explore Zion National Park with day hikes to attractions around the park. If weather or trail conditions are such that mobility and movement around the park are restricted or limited, then a contingency plan will be initiated around the 16th and we’ll explore some of the other parks in the region in Utah or Arizona.
March 18:
Leave Zion National Park and head out towards Monument Valley and Four Corners before going up to Moab to spend the night.
March 19:
Drive back to Wichita.
Journal entries and pictures will follow once I get access to a computer around or after March 20.
