This is an incredible experience, and even just getting there involves a feat of modern engineering -- the tunnel, so long they had to cut "windows" (air holes) to keep the carbon monoxide from building up. Then there's the tram ride along the Virgin River, with a knowledgeable guide who pointed out sights and explained the effects of geology on... More

Beautiful! Look for city shuttle parking signs in Springdale. I found one where you didn’t have to be a hotel guest and the shuttle stop to the park was across the street. (The Bit and Spur stop on the left as you’re headed east towards the park.) If you do this, make note of the stop so you remember when... More

We stayed at Cable Mountain Lodge & explored Zion national park for a couple of days. It is just beautiful, breathtaking & a photographers dream. The colours in the rock formations & the walks, lookouts & feeling of the place is unlike anything else. This place is filled with so much natural beauty & everywhere you look has a wow... More

Zion is one of those unique experiences. There is not much to say but WOW! Beautiful views of nature at it's best. The mandatory shuttles within the park area keep the crowd's controlled. Dine at the Zion Lodge dining room. Don't forget to do the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway 9 drive if you have a car. It is beautiful and well... More

I wanted to go here ever since I saw Zion on the travel channel. Every hike, every area of this park is beautiful. At tjis timw of year, the shuttles are the only way to get around. The park is well maintained and spotless. Most hiking trails are paved and they have the colors of the paving tinted to blend... More

At first you think there is nothing but desert there as you drive along I-15 in southern Utah. Then you see the sign and make the turn at "Zion National Park." Everything changes. Majestic, towering red-rock peaks, huge white towering slabs of rock which must be what the throne of God looks like. An array of beautiful but natural geological... More
