^Excellent. Love Zion. Those photos are fantastic, though of course, the experience is indescribable. One reason I too prefer Zion to Grand Canyon is because much of the Grand Canyon is overcrowded, but that's also the reason I prefer the Grand Staircase - Escalante, Capitol Reef, and especially Canyonlands to Zion and Bryce. My favorite trip to Zion was in January - had the place to ourselves.

The idiots are a big problem but I remember a ranger who once said most rescues are fit and experienced people who hike or climb alone. There's also a huge number of people who's 4-wheel vehicles break down in the back country. They have to somehow get back out and find someone willing to tow their vehicle, which is uber-slow going and costs lots and lots of $$$$. Then there are those who drive too close to the edge and...well...take a guess.
