Zion Narrows hammock camping

[Dave]

I'll be doing the top-down Virgin River narrows hike with two friends in June. Due to NPS ineptitude, we're being shoehorned into campsite 4 (one of the walk-up sites).

I'm thinking of using a hammock in lieu of a tent but am not sure if site 4 has appropriate places to hang. Can anyone share insight on this site? Pictures especially would be great.

Most, if not all of the sites should accomodate a hammock. I tried to take photos of every site when I went through last year but some were occupied. I'll check if I got #4 when I'm back at my other computer (might not be for a few days, remind me if I don't post by Monday).

There is this picture off the NPS site.[bimg]http://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/images/NF-campsite-5.jpg[/bimg]

Yeah, I've seen that NPS photo but it doesn't really show much.

Ok, Hopefully Nick will have you a better shot. I've only ever stayed in 12, which would be awesome for a hammock.

 

[Dave]

Hey Nick did you get a chance to check your photos?

It looks like site 4 was one of the occupied sites and I didn't get a picture. I really think you'll be fine in a hammock.
