About This Trail

Imported description

It was a short but challenging summit hike. The Two Pines Arch is on the way. Zion National Park contains massive monoliths of rock. The peaks, like Angels Landing, can be reached with park maintained trails. It is possible to reach Lady Mountain by unmaintained trails. It takes a lifetime of experience and climbing gear to reach the top. Some of the mountain tops in Zion have true peaks, but most of the time there are not true peaks at all. More can be reached in the amount of time and distance. The Two Pines Arch is on the way. It gives you the illusion of "Indiana Jones' Leap of Faith" when viewed close.
