I can't comment on the T/S, but Zion was phenomonal. I went last fall.

I have a set posted from the trip

I found this page to be a good guide for the trails: http://www.citrusmilo.com/zionguide/
Rented gear for hiking Narrows from: http://www.zionadventures.com/zion-narrows/
Stayed here, which is right next to the entrance: http://www.cablemountainlodge.com/

Enjoy,
Eric
