Firepit Knoll is an easy half hour hike from the Kolob Terrace Road. Although it isn't anything special the views are good.

Spendlove Knoll

Spendlove Knoll

Spendlove Knoll is the nastiest peak I have climbed in Zion so far. Heavy bushwhacking left me quite scratched up, but at least it was a quick trip and the views were good.
