Today we made different plans than Dan and Janet and drove north to the Kolob Canyons area of Zion. We have done different hikes in this area before—the toughest a 14 mile slog out to Kolob Arch and back. One of the more popular hikes (because it is easy) is Taylor Creek. I had read that it is possible to hike up the north fork of Taylor Creek, although there is no trail, so we gave that a try.
Actually, at the fork there is an easy to discover use-trail that heads up the north fork. It gets brushy in places, and often you must walk in the stream-bed. This wasn’t a problem because the stream-flow was quite low. We had the canyon to ourselves. It was enjoyable to do once; not sure I’ll do it again.
North Fork Taylor Creek. This is also the use-trail.
