Zion National Park - hiking and camping information and RV vacation pictures

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is absolutely, without a doubt, stunning, gorgeous, and completely unforgettable. Zion is a massive canyon with a complete ecosystem to explore. It includes acres and acres of incredible hikes, waterways, and canyons with soaring cliffs leading to forbidden forests. Hikes through the knee deep, boulder strewn, crystal clear 57 degree waters of the Virgin River are so much fun or you can just float a portion of it in a rented tube.

There are panoramic views from nearly every hike in the park. If you want to leave the crowds just hike into the remote wilderness farther than anyone else. You can't get lost too easily as long as you stay in the canyons or along the rivers edge. Zion is easy to do with kids and there are very few biting insects.

Visits to Zion are best in the summer when the water is warm enough to play in. The visitor center is fantastic and offers nightly ranger talks and demonstrations. You could spend 3-20 days here easy spending time throughout the entire Zion park system. The free tram is organized and absolutely a pleasure to ride with huge windows and no fumes because they are Propane powered vehicles. There are many of them stopping and going continuously all day picking up and dropping at each of the 9 or so major trailheads about every 6-9 minutes. A family could stay and eat here good for a month for less than $1000. Rarely can you have campfires here but the clear starry skies and breathtaking sunsets more than make up for that. You can grill out with charcoal though. Visit the following links for individual reviews and pictures so you can plan depending on the condition, interests and age of your hikers.

Our favorite hikes, funnest ones first - Narrows - Angels Landing - Hidden Canyon
Canyon Overlook - Emerald Pools - Kolob Canyons - Watchman

Zion is one of our favorite places in the U.S. All of the hikes are extraordinary. From the Temple of Sinawava on the Virgin River to Angels Landing, the scariest hike I have ever been on, you will find a hike for everyone. There is even a 100 yard hike for those that want to say they did something, but don’t really want to do anything. Every time we come back here there is always something new to experience. You owe it to yourself to visit Zion National Park, Utah.

Visit Zion National Park Angels Landing for more information.
