I got to Zion in about 2 1/2 hours after I left Vegas. The drive felt more like 45 minutes. The scenery is beautiful. There are a lot of Mormons in the park. Not too unexpected, but about 75% of the visitors seem to be BYU students.

Backpackers are outnumbered by skunks (the codename my friend and I gave to dayhiking tourists) about 75 to 1. It's easy to spot the backpackers. They're the ones that aren't groomed and don't really care.

Rangers in the visitor's center were extremely nice and helpful (the young lady rangers were the hottest rangers I've ever seen). I got the latest weather and trail conditions for the weekend. My first hike is up Angel's Landing, a hike that has claimed the lives of five visitors since the park opened in the early 1900s.
