Zion National Park

My friend and I are going to Zion in June, spending 3 nights so 2 full days in the park. I’ve never been out there and know very little, wondering if folks have any suggestions on how to get the most out of our time there/avoid crazy crowds/etc? Any tips for planning this kind of trip?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Zion is probably my favorite national park and @Letsgohuskies11 and I went out there about ten years ago during the off-days of the NCAA tournament in SLC.

The Angel’s Landing hike was one I’ll only do once, but pretty spectacular. Go very early if you want to do that hike.

Read the park site. A lot of hikes and entries now need permits.

Everyone who hikes from Scout Lookout to Angels Landing needs to have a permit. Learn more about the Angels Landing Pilot Permit Program.

I used Cedar City as a base in the area. I like the town. Bryce and Cedar Breaks are easy drives.
