Hi Jay, thanks for taking us along to all these amazing places! These rocks are awesome and impressive. I'm lokking forward to watch your next videos. Happy trails and safe travels.

When we visited several summers ago, we entered the park around 6:30 in the morning. There was basically no line at the gate and we got a parking spot at the visitor center lot. It's crazy how busy it gets later in the morning. I was shocked.

What a beautiful scenery my friend! Zion is simply breathtaking!

Good video with lots of great beautiful views, some deers and turkeys, so let's keep on hiking 😊

20:52 nice canyon wren song! Super nice video, I’m glad you had such a fun time.

Your videos are always enjoyable to watch. It's a beautiful park. The crowds I would not like. I wonder how Jay felt. 🌻👣

I never minded the crowds. It's the "I'll do what I want" people that really rile me up and with more people there are more people doing whatever they want like walking and climbing everywhere, feeding animals, stuff like that.

@@JayWandersOut understandable. Some people have no respect for nature. 🌻👣

Even if you don't get the permit for Angel's Landing you can take the Angel's Landing trail to Scouts lookout and get some incredible views or hike along further along the west rim trail from Scouts lookout.

Zion is absolutely beautiful. I haven’t been there since I was 16. Hopefully I can get out there again soon!

Hope that you scored the Angel’s Landing ticket, Jay. It is something not to be missed. Oddly I hiked it 30 years ago… no ticket required, no shuttle busses, no people. Oh well.

My son and I did The Narrows and Angels Landing 2018 in July before the permit requirement was implemented post COVID. Also hiked overnight along the West Rim trail (dropped our packs and did Angels Landing near the end of that hike). You need a permit for Wilderness area hike that the West Rim trail passes through. Also have to use WAG bags. I think that trail and possibly some more obscure ones of the park are the only places you’ll find solitude in Zion.

We drove in through the east entrance back in March, 2019. Stunning drive coming into the park, the tunnel and switch backs had amazing views. We rented the water proof pants, shoes and hiking stick from a near by outfitter, hiking the Narrows was on my bucket list and it didn’t disappoint. Stunning hike and water wasn’t too bad but I am from New England so use to cold water. I never could do Angels Landing due to fear of heights. The park was not that crowded 5 years ago, crazy amount of people.

Definitely still go to Scouts Lookout if you dont get the pass to go all the way up to Angels Landing. I think many people dont realize you can do this because there's a ranger checkpoint at the beginning of the trail. The ranger only checks for the Angels Landing pass. If you're not going all the way up there, you can just walk by and bypass the ranger checkpoint. The 2nd ranger checkpoint is at Scouts Lookout where Angels Landing actually starts.

Wire keeps the horses from chewing the post. They’ll eat the top board of a wooden fence to the point the boards become weak and have to be replaced.

i met this guy when i hiked the pct. he’s pretty chill. i wish i had the youtube money to fund my new car and travels.

Amazing that it is so busy in March. I was there in April back in 1981 and while there were lots of buses of highschool kids, it was not that busy. Now, walking on the treadmill along with your video. Thanks.

Hey jay i wanted to to say thank you for your service and thanks to people like you lets us injoy our life me and my wife will be walking the Appalachian trail in 2025 and thanks for the videos you post of places i cant see stay safe be waiting for the next video..

Did you just happen to visit during spring break? It looks like you managed to have a great visit anyway. Zion is an astounding place.

Beautiful Park. Yeah I would like to do Angel’s Landing . Wow, they raking in the money there . Good luck, or good skill I should say up there on the Landing . As long as your knees bend freely you should be okay.

I forgot to mention a huge blinking sign that said "Visitor Center Parking Full" but there were spots. I think it was a clever salesman making people think "This spot is better than nothing."

Those crowds are crazy, it would really give me concerns about visiting this park.

Wait until the next video! Literally lines of people on a trail so you had to stand there and wait.

The wire on the horse post is probably to prevent them from chewing, which they often do. Also, parking for NFL games can be $40 or more!

Try parking in Boston LOL 😂!!!

Are there mountain lions there?

There should be but it's rare to spot them and I've been hoping to see one for years now.

Overall I thought Zion was the most spectacular place I ever visited.
