Kolob Arch Backpacking
With massive red sandstone cliffs that soar into a brilliant blue sky, you can expect unforgettable views while backpacking in the northwest section of Zion National Park. Our destination will be Kolob Arch, which is arguably one of the longest spanning freestanding arches in the world. We are looking to about 15 miles of distance for the weekend!
