Full moon hike in Zion

[ScottM]

Any suggestions for a full moon hike in Zion? Thinking of West Rim (from the Lodge) up to campsite 2 or 3 and back. Wasn't sure if there are any others that might lend themselves to a good night hike.

Any of the easier trails. I use to run barefoot along the Riverside Walk at night. I love Zion at night when most are in bed!

Tanya, thanks for the response. I was looking for something a little more sporty then the Riverside trail. Might you know if the main entrance gates close at a specific time? Or is it an honor system after a certain hour?

The east gate closes earlier, but the south one can stay open late when it's busy. Anytime you go in Zion before 7 am it's free, or exit after they leave. Tom has mentioned doing keyhole in the dark. I want to see what I'm doing. Riverside walk is it for me!

Keyhole at midnight is sweet too! You should add that one in if you can spare the time and energy. Good stuff.
