Description
Quickly becoming Zions most visited free climbing area. The Park service is aware of this area and isn't very excited about it. Tread lightly and don't park like a jackass. Consider parking down low and carpooling instead of everyone taking their own rides.
This area receives stellar afternoon sun. Shade can be chased early in the morning. It hosts views looking down on the Parus trail and the old visitors center and the touristy town of Springdale.
This area holds some of Zion's first pure sport routes and accessible grades. With some hard crack climbing and mulitpitch thrown in you will find something for almost everyone.

Getting There
Park at last switchback before tunnel on Zion/Mount Carmel Highway. If its full you can park DOWN the road on the downhill side in a small pullout. The trail is just off the last switchback. It begins with a steep sand slog and works its way up to a traversing trail that runs back West. When you get the 'stone living room' you'll find the bolted arete Enter The Dragon. Keep traversing west on a pleasant trail to find Taking Back The Rainbow and Smashmouth and beyond.
