This was our first “must” destination, and it definitely met expectations.
Watchmen Trail
The Narrows
We rented dry suits for this cold hike up the Virgin River. A great time to visit, there were very few other people hiking, especially after the first couple of miles.

Scout’s Lookout and West Rim Trail
A good long hike up to the start of Angel’s Landing…and then right on past it. Even if I was primed to give it a shot, no way were we trying it in the melting slush.
