The entire park is great -- fresh air, nice hikes, and beautiful scenery. Bryce has more interesting hoo-doos and the Grand Canyon is more spectacular, but Zion is very worthwhile in its own right. more

The shuttles are great for hopping off and on at the various sites. Great way to view a national park and avoid the congestion. more

I drove to Zion on a whim from Vegas to check it out. Not really understanding the system, I proceeded to drive into the park and was hit with the large $25 fee. I drove the scenic route, through the admittedly very impressive tunnel and ended up on the other side of the park without ever running into anything interactive.... more

Zion Nat'l Park is a must see. We are from Las Vegas and are tired of the desert scenery, so we were a little skeptical of visiting. But the canyon was so incredible! We read everything online about where to park, trails to take, etc. We wanted to park by the entrance so we could have access to our car... more

A lot of trails are dangerous because you can either drown due to flashfloods or slip over the trail edge. On the safer trails you meet a zillion other people (the same kids that were yelling on the compulsory shuttle bus, for instance). Is this what I paid 25 bucks for? you wander. If you are looking for a quiet... more

We got into the park early and were able to park at the visitor's center. You have to ride a free shuttle up the canyon that is free and stops at all the scenic points. Buses run very frequently and it was not crowded this early in the season and morning. A must see national park along with Bryce Canyon. more

Every corner gives views that top the last ones you just saw. You will love this drive and take tons of pictures. The colored rock is not like anywhere else in the country and the different colors are not to be missed. more

My wife and I spent 1 day in Zion. We started with the 1 hour or so river side walk at the end of the road in the park. This was ok but was only a walk in the park. We then decided to try Angels Landing hike, a more popular and strenuous hike. I recommend this hike early in... more

I recently drove up to Zion from Vegas and spent the afternoon in this incredible park. This is easily the nicest national park I have ever been in. You can drive through on the Mt. Carmel highway for $25 and there are a few places to park for pictures and hiking. Or, you can park in Springdale, UT and ride... more

Oct. 8, 2006 E.G.M. from Massachusette My sister neice and I were on a 2 week trip to Utah and Arizona to visit 6 national parks, monuments and numerous other places. Zion was our first stop. It was amazing. We spent 10 hours here. The shuttle makes it so easy to see to get around. more
