Robert writes, "The Lava Point Overlook in Zion National Park is seldom visited, and the navigator only happened to spot it while looking on her phone for 'other things to do'. Since we finished early in the day from our hike at Kanarra Falls, we jumped at the chance to explore yet another part of Zion that we had not seen before.
The black top road is 25 miles long, and is situated in the northwest section of the park along the Kolob Terrace Road, roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes from the South Entrance. You can't get to this road directly from main part of Zion...it's off the beaten path; a gem really, that you'll have almost entirely to yourselves. We both loved it. You get to a side of Zion that is rarely ever seen." Comments | Permalink
