I'm doing this trip in reverse! We're in Springdale (right outside of Zion) right now (since Monday). Heading to Moab next, then slowly working my way to Virginia. The cool thing about Zion is that it doesn't close. I brought a mountain bike (there are also tons of rentals in town) and have been able to avoid the shuttle mess entirely and just take some nice rides through the canyon later in the evening when the light is super interesting and the crowds die down.
I stopped by White pocket on the way here though and it's been one of my favorite spots. Really remote, not many people at all, and it's like walking on another planet.
I would love to learn more about some of these back entrances to Arches if anyone has any more info about them!
