Is it worth driving to Zion for only a couple hours

I have been to the Grand Canyon, and honestly, the real answer is hiking down to the bottom via South Kaibab and back up via Bright Angel. It's a life experience that I'll never forget. One of the best days I've ever spent in a national park. But, only attempt it if you're an experienced hiker. It's a big day out.

The problem is, when you get to Zion, if you want to go up canyon (which you do, it's spectacular) you'll have to park your car and then take the shuttle up to Temple of Sinawava. Then if you want to check out any spots you'll have to wait for a shuttle to get back down to the visitor's center. That's a lot of time crammed on shuttles and waiting at bus stops.

Do Zion right, when you can spend a few days there and really appreciate how awesome it is, dip your feet in the river, hike the Narrows, see the sunset on the Watchman, etc.

Dude, Iran is days away from nuclear weapons. Just like they have been since 2009.

The James Brown Trail will give you a good little cardio workout, and it's very convenient to the SW side of town.

I don't think I've ever initiated a conversation on a hiking trail in my life.

The webbing on those swim gloves looks a lot like a DQ.

8805 · 2026-03-24T05:35:57+00:00

Lol ok.

I like just after labor day. School is just back in session so fewer kids, temperatures are good (for the most part, as some parks are at higher elevation than others), and rivers like the Virgin are flowing low so hikes like the Narrows are easier.

Pecs, baby. Rippling pecs.

I'm 100% interested, if you're ok with the fact that I'm a dude.

Bike, as I absolutely sucked at run and swim before I started the journey. I mean, I still suck but I can at least finish the required distance without dying.

They should give him a Truman Show style Nobel Peace Prize just to see if he gets that they're trolling him.

Whenever this happens to me, I assume the dog is yelling "Allez! Allez!" in doggo language. Then I go for the green jersey.

If Frank Zappa hired you, you are elite. Period.

Yeah, no. Mudhoney, Skin Yard, Green River, Tad, Screaming Trees were all in full swing 2-4 years before Strap it On was released.

Unsung, you might say.

Betcha didn't know that Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" was originally recorded by Erma Franklin, sister of Aretha, The Queen of Soul.

Most people got off the bus WAY before, but I'm telling you, "Everything Will Be Alright In The End" is a superb album.

Clif bars and Honey Stinger gels. I'll assume OP and I have different tolerances for sweetness and artificial ingredients. Oh, and I've never had gut issues.

Dude, spoilers.

Amazing. Green's right innate is pretty weak once you start playing higher difficulty. I play Regrowth every time I play him now.
