Zion traverse with Cory and Matt. Perfect! Great weather and the trail was 95% dry unlike last year's mud slog. Cory's first trip ever to Zion, guess running from one end of the park to the other is a great way to see the place. Pretty much had the whole trail to ourselves, except right in the main canyon of course. Went West to East, which feels uphill pretty much the whole way, except practically falling off a cliff at the end of the West Rim trail. Still seems like the more aesthetic way to do it to me, though could see the other way being faster. Fast wasn't the goal for this one. Unsupported on the run, 34 hours house to house.
No pics for this one. Here's a link to last year's trip for pics and a map.
