How did I not hear of Zion National Park sooner?! Zion’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures. Stop in to the visitor center for all the information you need on Zion National Park. Zion has a nice shuttle bus system, similar to the Grand Canyon.

The park has three campgrounds. South and Watchman Campgrounds are in Zion Canyon. The Lava Point Campground is about a 1-hour drive from Zion Canyon on the Kolob Terrace Road. There are no campgrounds in Kolob Canyons. Camping is permitted in designated campsites, but not in pullouts or parking lots. Camping is popular; all campgrounds are often full by mid-morning.

From mid-March through late November the campgrounds are full almost every night. Zion National Park is open 24 hours per day, every day of the year, and no reservations are required to visit. The cost of getting into the park via car is $35, unless you have the National Park Pass. When I went to Zion, I went for one reason only, Angel’s Landing!

Angel’s Landing is one of the most dangerous hikes in the world. In fact, many people have died making the climb. If you’re planning on doing this hike, you must be prepared. The hike is strenuous and you must be in decent shape. If you want to have the most enjoyable time, be up early. Indeed, the early bird gets the worm. Otherwise, you will be fighting the crowds, which makes the hike less enjoyable and more dangerous.
