Spring Hollow - Greater Zion Area
This is a short and easy walk through a wide slot canyon located a few miles past the east side of Zion National Park in Glendale, Utah. While this is always a nice hike, the double waterfall at the trails end makes it all the better if it is running. Although the walk is fun, it's the little things that make it special. There are petroglyphs and rock art from the 1880's along this little treasure. The historical rock art is fun to see, but be warned, its mixed with modern day graffiti.
