Tues, Oct 16 - Get to Airport to fly home by 9:30a and head home
 
After Red Bull on Sunday is over I might wander out to your campground and at least say hi if you post the spot you end up in.
 
John, come earlier! ;)
Chere, and Matt, we reserved site D010 for sat and sun oct 6/7 nights.

I can't change my schedule because my Bro is coming out from SC and he already has his tickets. Hopefully there'll be another time.
 
With the way things go, you'll probably run into me lot somewhere anyway! Have fun! I think we will be leaving the area after photographing sunrise, and a bit after. Hopefully the weather cooperates for us and you guys!

I'll wear my Backcountrypost tee-shirt :)
 
Sunrise in Zion = court of patriarchs viewpoint (depending on when sunrise is you might need a white permit so you can drive your car there if it is before the first shuttle)or museum patio.
Sunset= Parus trail looking toward the watchman, along kolob terrace road is another good spot, or near grafton, or smithsonian butte back way (all looking toward Zion)
Hey Matt, just going through some of these posts putting plans together. If we were interested in hitting up the Court of the Patriarchs Viewpoint for sunrise, it looks like Sunrise is at 7:33(ish), and the first bus from the visitor center is at 7AM, would that get us there in time? What's this white permit you speak of?
