Zion Traverse Backpacking Guide
For an adventure that firmly grounds you in Zion National Park’s backcountry, where few day hikers roam, The Zion Traverse, also called the Trans-Zion Trek, is not a single trail but a group of trails linked together for a carte-blanche tasting of Zion.
This is a stunning maze-like landscape of steep echoing canyons, soaring Navajo sandstone monoliths, and high plateaus. Every possible place where flora can grip the earth is packed with pine and juniper, high-desert flowers, sipping from seeps, springs, or making the most of a bit of rainfall. This is a fascinating geological journey that will ignite a love for desert wildernesses.
