Begin the hike at the east entrance to Zion Park by the entrance station. The start of the trail is hot so begin the hike early in the day.
Cable Mountain MileageJolly Gulch 2.8 miles Stave Spring 5.5 miles (2.5 hours) Jct to Cable Mountain 5.7 miles Cable Works 8.7 miles Back to East Rim Trail 11.7 miles Weeping Rock parking lot 16 miles Best trail features: The East Rim Trail is spectacular, but add the view points of Cable Mountain and Deertrap and its hard to beat. When water is flowing in Jolly Gulch is a special treat. History: From the top of Cable Mountain the views of Zion Canyon are astonishing and the old cable system is interesting. In 1904 a saw mill opened at Stave Springs. The lumber from the mill was lowered down into Zion Canyon from the cable works. A lightening burt down the cable system in 1911, and eventually everything closed in 1930.
