Thanks for the help Chris, we'll make those name corrections now. We camped at site #9 by Sawmill Springs. Happy hiking!

Where did you camp on your second night? I hiked this trail 3 years ago with my brother-in-law and we were unable to find a level spot on the Wildcat trail. We hiked 16 miles from La Verkin site #10 to the trailhead near Lava Point where we ended up getting a lift to Lava Point campground for the night. It was a much longer day than we planned on. Apparently we should have looked for a site on the Northgate Peaks trail, but the backcountry desk did not explain that to us, and I'm curious what you did (BTW, you mistakenly call it the "Northridge" trail a few times above). Also, I don't believe there is such a thing as Sawmill Springs Camp, unless you are referring to West Rim site #9. Great guide!

Thank you for posting this. My wife and I are heading to Zion for our 10 year anniversary. I love your blog! Your shoes don't look like Peregrines in the picture. ;)
