Saturday, January 28th midday hike.
My wife and I arrived to the trailhead around 1pm. We approached from the valley, and read that the trail and parking was located shortly after going through the tunnel. This was indeed the case, and it was fairly busy, so we needed to drive up the road a short bit to find a parking spot. There is a restroom near the trailhead. The hike is a lot of fun. Plenty of climbing. There were plenty of icy, wet, and muddy spots on the trail. We did not hike with traction devices, but we do hike with trekking poles. That helped. The good thing about that time of the day is that trail is mostly in the sunshine, so there were plenty of dry sections of the trail. We did encounter a fair amount of people on the trail, but nothing too bad. It was a fun hike, and a nice end point view. We would certainly do this hike again.

One of Zion's less crowded gems
Some stairs, but not too challenging. Great to do late afternoon or whenever the colors are kind of changing... you definitely want light and visibility to come back down. You should be fairly agile and if you have kids, they MUST be cautious and careful- but anyone with common sense will be fine. Not the most epic view in the Park but it's not as crazy crowded and you can get there by car!
