East Temple

There is good

topo

from bigwall.com.

There is also an updated topo in the visitor center.

Park at the pull off 1/2mile up on the Mt. Carmel Hwy form the Zion Canyon Rd. and Mt. Carmel Hwy junction. The pull off is on the left just before the bridge.

The

Fang Spire

is almost directly above the pullout on the left side of
