This was a fun hike, albeit a windy one! Like the post said, the trail can be hard to follow at times. In particular, there is one spot near the end where you might think you need to jump down from the sandstone trail...don't! Turn right and continue walking along the sandstone. And hold on to your hat! (Literally, my friend's blew away and we never found it!)

The Many Glacier area has so much to explore. This is a manageable hike that will take you to outstanding views of the park. If you're planning on taking the boat across the lake, make sure you leave early enough to catch the last trip back!

The views here are amazing for such a short hike! The trail is a bit narrow in spots; we passed a woman who was afraid of heights who had to stop and turn back because she was too nervous to continue on the trail. We lost the trail at one point, but eventually made it to the top. Regardless, it was a great way to start our day at Zion!

So THAT'S what the falls look like! They were all dried up when I went in September. I'm glad I finally got to see them! (though the views at the overlook were worth the hike)
