Moonlight butterss approach river crossing

Hey all! Me and my friend want to do moonlight this Saturday, we were wondering if it's possible to cross the  virgin river this time of year?

 Thanks! 

Should not be any issue, barring any unusual weather events.

Gauge for Virgin in Zion:

Flow below 100 cfs is usually quite a mellow experience crossing near Moonlight, however it is passable at even higher flows with more effort. Hope this helps

thanks a lot !!! is there much traffic on it on the weekends?

I’ll be up there solo Friday-Saturday so I’ll say hi :)

Watch Saturday for weather.  Might get lightning and storms.  Hopefully later in the day.  

Thanks! I want to start early tomorrow but I missed the wilderness center today. Is there any other way to get into the park with a vehicle early morning? 

Not without getting the early access permit from the wilderness office the day before.   Any later than that and you're either riding shuttle or hoofing it up the main canyon.
