About This Trail

Imported description

The summit ascent was inspiring. It was a long way to get to the peak beside West Temple. Theroglyphs are paraphrased. Mount Kinesava is located in the southern section of Zion National Park, where daytime summer temperatures climb into the triple digits. The peak was named after the Paiute God. The peak is blamed for many misdeeds, but still shows the petroglyphs written by those brave enough to make an ascent. An inspiring summit ascent requires a long difficult approach. Mount Kinesava will leave you tired, but in awe of the southern section of Zion National Park.
