Yeah… secret is an interesting way to describe this trail.

Aussie here. This reminds me a lot of our deserts :)

I had never been before this year. I went in August when it was a bit cold and it seemed like there were few people. Absolutely beautiful. Didn't get to do angels landing though as we weren't able to get a pass in time but I'm not even a little bit sad.

No, I didn’t think your comment took away from the beauty at all. If you’re gonna’ spark up on that trail, this is a nice place to do it!

Yea the one drawback to this park is the crowds. Need to find off season to enjoy the true beauty of this park without the craziness. Being near Vegas and within striking distance from California make it crowded.

Also when doing any of the popular hikes go at the crack of dawn before all the amateurs head out at 10am. It will still be busy but you'll atleast be with people that put in the effort and preparation to do zion hikes. Once 10am hit it was filled with every Joe moron doing the narrows in flip flops for example.

I went before and since covid and yeah it was getting crowded. They recently started limiting hikers on Angel's Landing so that is probably good.

It took me 10 years to be happy with whatever outcome I get on attempts for photos, wherever or whenever. And in my opinion, a really good photo is only possible with good lighting conditions, therefore it’s almost pure luck (and maybe an eye for meteorology) to get an outstanding photo. All my favorite shots in my portfolio happened during fog or/and sundown/sunrise and/or northern lights or whatever stunning weather conditions, the location itself won’t change at all, despite of the talent or camera or planning.

Looked it up, there's a sheika tower close by you can glide in from. Easy climb.

Have you been in recent years? Before covid is was like Disney land of rocks. So. Many. People. I’m all for getting folks out to nature so we can all enjoy it, but the NPS feels like they are going to destroy a lot of these amazing places.

The west side of the park is amazing also.

I’ve been to Sedona. Beautiful city to be sure. It’s too bad it’s become more of a tourist trap.

Zion is a super underrated National Park. The Angel's Landing hike is legendary and The Narrows look like another planet.

Thanks for this. I always wonder if I’m the only who has misadventures like this…and if I was a real photographer, nothing bad or clumsy would ever happen (and I would never miss a shot).

6000 spears. Less than half of what I hoped for.

I legitimately want to see someone try and post a bad picture they took of a landscape in Sedona. I contend it can’t be done.

If you max out your stamina you could probably make it. I think there’s a Korok seed up there as well.

One of my favorite places on Iceland 😍

No it's not, buddy. This was in the back of a canyon on the west side. I'm just not here to hand out coordinates because there's archeological sites to preserve

Boobs? That's a ball sack
