ZION NATIONAL PARK: Ultimate Travel Guide

Everything you need to know to visit Zion National Park in Utah. Zion is the 3rd most visited National Park with nearly 5 million visitors. Zion is big… 229 square miles with perpendicular cliffs that are nearly 3,000 feet high. Unlike other canyon parks - like the Grand Canyon, where many visitors view the canyons from their rims - Zion draws visitors to its floor. At Zion the Canyon starts wide, and then get’s really narrow.. Some parts are so narrow they only get minutes of sunshine per day.

    Living near by and growing up going to Zion all the time, I'm pretty amazed at how well you synthesize the information and share it...even when you are only visiting for a short time, great introductory to Zion and pretty important tips. It does get hot in the Summer, but anywhere the Canyon Walls cover, it does cover and shade...and though the Canyon walls do warm up, they provide a lot of cover...so the shaded hikes are where it's at in the Summer.

    Zion was a complete bust for me. I’m happy I didn’t pay the 35 dollar fee. First day of national park week would’ve been nice to spend here but it’s inaccessible and inconvenient. No one really tells use where to go for the shuttle or where to park . You just have to figure it out for yourself. It’s really confusing where to go so I just gave up and drove to LA. Having come from Salt Lake City area what I saw of Zion kind of paled in comparison anyway
