In late January 2021, my college kid and I stopped at Zion before the college drop off to hike the Narrows. This was our first time in the park, it was chilly and the hike required dry suits. I remember asking the ranger how far down the trail to Wall Street and other notable formations and she gave the best advice: "Hike in until you have enjoyed yourself with enough energy left to enjoy the hike on the way out. This will be your halfway point and the sign to know when to turn around and start your return trip back. It's all beautiful, enjoy the journey". I take from this to pace yourself, recognize your limit, and remember to enjoy the entire journey. Destination is arbitrary since we had already arrived at a most magical national park. Thank you to that wonderful ranger!
