Hi All!

Just wanted to come in and share as someone experiencing the joys of booking and making reservations for national Park campsites and permits for the first time,I think I got very lucky with what I was able to book.

This morning I got lucky and booked a campsite at watchman after seeing it completely booked for 3 months and turning the alert on a couple days ago.

Was very pleased with the morning rush win for Upper pines in Yosemite for MEMORIAL DAY and also securing angels landing permit for the exact day we wanted and the campsite site for our stay.

Many posts in this group were super helpful so thank you all for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

This is my very first National Park Roadtrip and stopping by Pinnacles and Arches on the way back to cross off 6 total(7 if sequoia and kings are counted separately)

Hi all!

I was really lucky this morning to snag a campground at Watchman after turning on alert a couple days ago and this really helped us to cut down the early morning drive from St. George into the park.

I was looking at google maps and wanted to ask if people are allowed to cross the Virgin river on the west side of the camp and walk into springdale.

We have an e-bike reservation for our one full day at zion and plan to pick it up around 0500-0600. We don’t really want to drive up because then we have two vehicles to deal with and only one of us knows how to drive. The main option is to walk and I was looking at walking route that kinda takes you through a very roundabout way to go back into town. It would be really helpful if we can just cross the river and get to our ebike rental.

Has anyone else done this or knows if we can cross the river close to the restrooms? We are camping on loop B
