I can think of few Zion peaks that are more versatile and offer more varied routes, than West Northgate. Everything from a scramble to the serious Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:31:45 GMT bodhijoe http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47172 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47172 Hmmmm... I would actually have to give a thumbs up to the Northgate Peaks, especially West. But I know you're into more challenging stuff than I am, so from Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:04:31 GMT Shaun & Jenn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47171 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47171 Removed the North Gate peaks and placed North Guardian Angle, Pine Valley Peak, Red Butte, and maybe South Guardian Angle higher. Also added Zion Butte.

But I ran it. Took a few senic detor brakes.

We did add about 4 miles Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:35:50 GMT cp0915athotmaildotcom http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47168 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47168 Depends on how fast you are. Half-day for some; a full day for others. It's about 15 miles roundtrip, all on trail, with relatively little elevation gain.

For others that have done this, how long does it take? thanks, Keith Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:09:04 GMT Heather Long http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47166 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47166 I will let you know what routes we end up picking. We are heading out in December so I'm hoping that we will be able to add a few to our already growing list, Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:43:32 GMT cp0915athotmaildotcom http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47165 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47165 Out of curiosity, which did you add and which did you remove?

Love the book. Been reading it for adding peeks to my hit list. Actually removed to because CP gave Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:43:47 GMT cp0915athotmaildotcom http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47163 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zion_National_Park_Hiking/message/47163 Boy, those ad dollars are really reaping rewards!

Each entry includes a little bit of commentary.
