Alright /out/, I have a few questions about Zion. I want to go for 3-4 days, and will probly take my gf with me.

Here are my questions:
1. Is it cold in December? I plan on going sometime between the 11th-17th. Will it be full on snow and low temps? What additional geat would you suggest?

2. I'm thinking of taking West Rim trail to Angel's Landing, and then Emerald Pools. Since I'll have a guest, I'll probly stay in one of the lodges on the scenic trail. Anyone have any experience around these areas?

3. Do I really need water shoes for the Narrows? I have a pair of merrel sandals - would those work?

4. Once again, since I have a guest, I will probably not be able to hike back to my car on West Rim. Is there Uber or something like that to give us a ride back up there?

5. Any other general tips welcome
