Eastern access to the mesas   Message List

The Falcon guide describes two interesting hikes, one on the East Mesa trail,
starting at the end of Beaver Rd on the Zion Ponderosa property, and another
starting near the Gooder-Reagan cabin from West Pine Street, also on the Zion
Ponderosa property.

Has anyone done these trails?

Both seem to rely on roads crossing the Ponderosa property, and these roads
"deteriorate" before they come to the national park gates. I am wondering if it
is bad form to park on the road, on the Ponderosa propery, before it gets too
rauncy for my non-4WD car?

thanks for any advice

Tom - We may be talking about two different things here, but are you claiming that the Ponderosa owns all of the land bordering that part of the park (East...

Whoa, I beg to differ here Tom. The road system does belong to ZPR but most cabin lots are private ownership. At least that is what my deed, Kane county,...
