Some of these lines appeared to be longer than waiting for a rollercoaster at Disney Land. 

I cant blame anyone for wanting to experience a glimpse of the majestic endearment that Zion has but the amount of people at the park now is like buying Bitcoin at its all time high. 

Continuing up the road to the east side of zion and leaving the park, the people disperse and we are left with just a few humanoids driving to and from the valleys chaos. 

One canyon that is not as visited as other locations is Mineral Gulch. 

I felt that since I have been to 98 percent of all the Zion canyons that have caught my attention, why not try out a non technical backpacking trip. 

There are a couple ways to approach mineral gulch. 

One is more of a direct route with a 4x4 road and another is via meadow gulch canyon. 

The increased distance to 8 miles and change ( one-way) on relatively flat and slowly descending wash made this route a preferred method. 

We continued on and found two main obstacles: one is a waterfall with a fixed rope to be used for a climb down and another is a waterfall that can be by passed by going right. 

Other than that, the canyon was straightforward and we made it to the river by noon.
